How Can Ketra Lighting Control Add Wellness to Your Everyday Life?
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.

Simulating Natural Light
Ketra’s Natural Light matches the light outdoors in color temperature and intensity. This simulation brings daylight indoors, creating a seamless transition from the natural world to your indoor world.
In the morning, you wake up to lights that mirror the colors of the rising sun. At dawn, that translates to a gold-blue or violet hue. Midday, the lights take on a white-blue color, the type of lighting that promotes productivity and enhances energy.
At day’s end, the lights settle into a soft amber glow reminiscent of a setting sun. In response, your body starts to relax, and, as the light fades, melatonin production begins, the hormone that signals to your body it’s time to sleep.
Following Daylight
If you’re wondering how lighting can mirror the sun's changing color, it’s all in Ketra’s patented technology. This technology lets the color temperature shift across a dynamic, infinite spectrum. A built-in geolocator ensures the natural light illuminating your home matches the natural light outside your windows.
The Effects
You and your family will find enhanced comfort and well-being as your internal time clocks synchronize to the rising and setting of the sun, just as your ancestors did. Ketra’s Natural Light promotes better sleep, elevated moods, and more energy.
