Reclaim Your Lifestyle With Smart Lighting

Optimize Comfort and Style With Our Custom Solutions 

When you walk into the kitchen after a long day, it greets you with a warm inviting glow instead of harsh lighting. Later, the living room lights fade while a soft accent highlights the shelves as you settle in for a movie. These small shifts change the way your home feels and looks throughout the day. 

Lighting affects more than visibility. It shapes mood, supports focus, and impacts your body’s natural rhythms. The challenge is that traditional switches and dimmers don’t give you that kind of flexibility. Smart lighting control changes this by letting you manage and automate your lights so they always feel right. From the moment you wake up until the last light goes out at night, lights meet the moment. 

Set the Perfect Scene

Morning light brightens gradually as you make coffee. By the time you’re at the kitchen table, a brighter, focused setting helps you stay on task. When friends arrive for dinner, the lights dim to a cozy glow that makes the room feel comfortable and intimate. Wouldn’t having those settings ready at the touch of a button be easier?

That’s exactly what preset scenes can do. A “Dinner” scene lowers overhead fixtures and highlights artwork on the walls. A “Goodnight” scene turns off everything except a soft hallway guide. With Lutron HomeWorks keypads, you can label buttons clearly, so anyone in the family knows exactly which scene to choose. 

DMF Lighting fixtures add depth with ambient, task, and accent layers that bring out the best in your interiors. You never have to settle for flat or one-note light.

Light That Follows Your Day

Crisp, energizing light in the morning. Soft, warm tones in the evening. Your lights shift in the same way sunlight does. Ketra’s Natural Light feature adjusts brightness and color temperature throughout the day, from energizing cool light at midday to warm, restful tones in the evening. You get better sleep, feel lighter, and are more alert. 

Have you noticed how poor lighting can make colors look dull? With Ketra’s full-spectrum technology, your art, fabrics, and finishes look exactly how they were meant to. Whites appear clean and vivid. Natural materials like stone and wood show depth and texture. It’s lighting that brings out the true beauty of your home.

Smarter Control, Smarter Living

Smart lighting also takes care of the details you don’t want to think about. Occupancy sensors turn lights off when a room is empty. Photosensors dim fixtures when natural light fills the space. Schedules keep routines consistent without you having to remember them.

Add motorized shades to the mix, and your home balances daylight with artificial light on its own. Shades lower to reduce glare in the afternoon sun while lights turn on to maintain the right brightness. In the evening, the system shifts again, creating an atmosphere that feels natural and relaxing. You save energy without losing comfort, and your home looks great at every hour.
