What Does Lighting Control Do?
Lighting control manages the home’s lighting zones, scenes, keypads, schedules, and shades. It gives homeowners a consistent way to adjust lighting from a wall control, keypad, remote, or app.
A single button can set the lighting for cooking, entertaining, television viewing, or the evening. Lighting control can also coordinate with motorized shades to manage daylight, glare, privacy, and comfort as conditions change.
The system is designed around the home’s architecture, interior design, and daily routines.
What Does Intelligent Lighting Do?
Intelligent lighting changes the quality of the light itself. Ketra, Lutron’s intelligent lighting technology, allows selected fixtures to adjust intensity, color temperature, and color with exceptional precision.
This allows a space to feel different throughout the day. Light can be cooler and more energizing in the morning, warmer and more relaxed in the evening, or adjusted to complement artwork, finishes, and furnishings.
How Do Lutron Lighting Control and Ketra Work Together?
Lutron HomeWorks lighting control manages the response of the room. Ketra provides the range and quality of light within that response.
For example, an Evening scene can lower shades, dim the room, and adjust Ketra lighting to a warmer tone. An Entertain scene can brighten key areas while maintaining a comfortable atmosphere throughout the space.
The result is a lighting system that is both easy to use and carefully aligned with the home.
Is Intelligent Lighting Right for Every Room?
Not every fixture or room requires intelligent lighting. Many homes combine lighting control throughout with Ketra in spaces where light quality has the greatest impact, such as kitchens, living areas, entertaining spaces, galleries, and rooms with artwork or distinctive finishes.
Boca Tech and Automation works with homeowners, architects, interior designers, and builders to determine where intelligent lighting will add the most value and how it should work within the overall lighting plan.
