1. Perfect Light for Any Home

Motorized shades are designed to provide the perfect amount of light in any room. Best all, you don’t have to do a thing to make it happen! They can be programmed to operate via a schedule or light/heat sensors. Automatic shades integrate perfectly with your home lighting system, so you always get the ideal balance of natural and artificial light.

2. Easy Controls

How about hassle-free control of your motorized blinds? Wouldn’t that be nice? It’s so easy to do! Adjust your shades up or down with the touch of a button or a voice command. You can control your automatic shades via a wall panel, smart home tablet, smartphone app, or remote.

3. Protect Furniture from UV Rays

Motorized window treatment manufacturers like Lutron make many shades with fabrics that vary in opacity. So, if you want to preserve the view from your window but protect your furniture and art from harmful UV rays, you can get a sheer fabric you can see through. Or, choose a room-darkening or blackout option for a bedroom or your home theater.

Dynamic Spectrum Lighting Redefines What’s Possible in Home Design and Lighting

Lighting is one of the essential elements in a home's design. It sets the mood, transforming a space from light and cheerful to dramatic and intriguing. It energizes and inspires us. At one time, our choice in lighting was soft or bright white light. We could dim or brighten our lights, but the hue remained relatively constant. 

Then, Ketra entered the market, transforming how we experience light. In 2018, it was acquired by Lutron, enabling us to control the tunable LED lighting in a responsive and personalized approach. It’s safe to say lighting will never be the same. So let's see how it's transforming homes in Anaheim Hills, CA, and the greater Orange County area.

Tunable Full Spectrum Light

Tunable or dynamic spectrum lighting gives us access to every color in the visible light spectrum. That’s about 17 million colors, from pastels to saturated shades and a range of whites. Astonishingly, all these colors come from one light source, which means that we can change our lighting at any time. Are you in the mood for a splash of magenta on a living room wall or amber candlelight on the patio? Now, it’s as easy as one touch. 

Today, we can change our lighting for any occasion, mood, and task. By setting scenes, one tap on a touchscreen or in-wall keypad will change all of the lights in your home and outdoor spaces to preset colors and levels of brightness. For example, tap the “Entertainment” button, and your home and landscape lights set to the colors that create the perfect atmosphere for friends and family.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

When smart shades are connected to your lighting system, they work together and make the most of natural light. By combining the lighting system and smart shades, the lights only operate when the smart shades are fully closed. When they are open, your lighting system will sense that prolonged operation is unnecessary, so they will dim or turn off completely to let natural sunlight do its job.

You can program your smart shades to adapt to your daily routines, so they automatically rise when you get out of bed or close as night falls. During the summer, you can use the shades to your benefit, saving energy as the shades will close to keep the house cool to avoid constant use of the air conditioning system.

EASY CONTROL

Smart shades give you full control over them without getting out of bed. With keypads, remote controls or even your smartphone, you can control every action of your shades. For example, with the touch of a button, you can lower or raise the shades without physically going to every shade in every room to use that annoying chain hanging on the side of the shades.
