Why Ketra Lighting Fixtures Are Ideal for New Builds
Ketra’s luxury architectural downlights D2 and D3 offer the incredible technology Ketra is famous for, along with the latest downlight innovations. Their Clear Connect Type X wireless technology does away with control wires, speeding up installation.
At 2 inches, D2 is the company’s smallest aperture to date. It lends itself to the quiet ceiling revolution, a trending design that suggests less is more and prefers lights that blend into the ceiling instead of standing out. D3’s bevel-style trims have a 3.75-inch aperture and field-adjustable optics, letting you shape light exactly where you want it.
Customization Options to Consider
Ketra’s light fixtures provide a flexible, wireless control system enabling customized designs that can be adjusted to and added on as aesthetics change and your space evolves. Rotation, tooled tilt, and 15- to 60-degree adjustable beam angles enable precision direction and focused control of light beams.
TruBeam technology enables the precise placement of light. Adding lenses and accessories to the primary optic or trim can reduce glare, create diffuse light, and improve the overall look.
It’s also customizable with six different collars for various aesthetics. Die-cast aluminum trims are available in flangeless, flanged, or mud-in options in multiple colors, including powder-coated finishes. Other options include fixed, wall wash, and adjustable downlights in low-profile housing.
Supporting Flexible Lighting Control in Rooms and Spaces
You can manage this extensive lighting system through voice assistants like Josh.ai or one-touch control. If you ask Josh to turn your lights to amethyst in the living room, he knows you’re referring to a deep violet hue.
These lights can also be managed with a keypad programmed for varying occasions. Press ‘Dinner,’ and the lights adjust to your preferred settings. Touchscreens and remotes let you manage one or every fixture, changing the intensity and hue.
They can also be automated, scheduled to turn on and off based on the time of day, occupancy, and level of natural light.
Integrating Fixtures to Improve the Smart Home Experience
The lighting system integrates with motorized shades, AV systems, climate control, and security to enhance the smart home experience. When the shades lower to protect a home from direct UV rays, the lights brighten, and the thermostat adjusts to maintain the ideal temperature. When you press ‘Movie Night’ on a remote, the lights dim and the shades lower.
Distinguishing Ketra D2 and D3 Lighting Fixtures from Other Brands
Ketra’s D2 and D3 lighting fixtures stand above competitors with numerous unique features. The system’s tunable, full-spectrum light offers more than 16.7 million different colors of light, spanning 1,400K to 10,000K.
