Bring the Power of Daylight Indoors

Not so long ago, in the grand scheme of things, humans spent most of their time outside. We evolved beneath the ever-changing sun and moon, and our bodies adapted. Even today, natural light plays an essential role in our welfare, responsible for producing hormones that bring us energy and put us to sleep. 

This light plays such a profound role in our sleep-wake cycle that, when we disrupt it with our 24/7 lifestyles and indoor living, our health suffers. According to some estimates, up to 70 million U.S. adults have chronic sleep disorders. 

To support humans in bringing their circadian rhythm back into balance and renewing their well-being, lighting manufacturers began developing Natural Light technology for indoor living. 

Ketra developed one of the most advanced systems. Subsidiary to Lutron, the global lighting control company, Ketra bought the dynamic power of natural light indoors, and Lutron controls it. 

Here’s what it’s doing for homes and the families that reside in them in Dallas, TX.

Enjoy an Outdoor Oasis Year-Round

Springtime in Dallas, TX, is undeniably one of the best seasons as wildflowers come into bloom and festivals begin. It’s the time of year when we enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, from barbecuing on the patio with friends to elegant garden soirees and lounging by the pool. 

As summer nears, we lament, “Why can’t spring last forever?” 

We may have the answer. 

To extend this beautiful season and enjoy our outdoor areas year-round, you need a space where you can manage the temperature while protecting yourself from the increasingly large number of mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and flies. Nothing puts a damper on a beautiful evening and alfresco dining faster than insects and heat.
