MORE ON LIGHTING: Lighting Designers Won’t Let You Skip This
Fall: Set the Mood for Gatherings
As the air turns crisp and the days get shorter, your home becomes the center of connection. With intelligent lighting control, it takes one tap or a voice command to create an inviting glow throughout your kitchen, dining room, and entryway.
- Hosting a dinner party? Cue up your “Entertain” scene with soft, dimmed chandeliers, under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen, and warm landscape lights to guide guests up the walkway.
- Winding down for the night? A single button dims the lights, lowers the shades, and shifts your living room into cozy mode.
- Security boost: With shorter days, lighting schedules can automatically activate at sunset. even while you’re traveling.
Fall’s layered lighting speaks to comfort and ease. Fixtures simply illuminate in the background, keeping your home feeling effortlessly ready for friends and family.
Winter: Bring the Warmth Indoors & Out
Darkness falls early, but you can keep spaces looking vibrant and feeling welcoming with thoughtfully coordinated lighting, inside and out.
- Holiday scenes: Synchronize your Christmas tree lights with outdoor roofline lighting for a polished, festive look. Control every setting from your phone or wall keypad.
- Family movie nights: Your “Movie” scene dims the recessed lights, draws the motorized shades, and lets your big screen take center stage in the media room.
- Energy savings: Use occupancy sensors and timed scenes to reduce energy waste and keep utility bills in check without lifting a finger.
In Massachusetts’ long winters, lighting becomes an emotional support during a somewhat dreary season. Human-centric Ketra lighting mimics the sun’s natural warmth and brightness levels throughout the day, supporting your natural circadian rhythms, no matter how dark it gets outside.
Spring: Embrace Light, Naturally
Spring invites light back into the home, and smart lighting lets you make the most of it.
- Daylight harvesting: Integrate motorized shading to optimize natural light, welcoming it when it’s needed and blocking it when it’s not.
- Wake-up scenes: Start your mornings with gradually brightening lights and shades that rise automatically.
- Outdoors entertainment: As backyard dinners and porch hangouts return and bring your property to life, use your “Evening” scene to set the tone with path lighting, sconces, and landscape highlights.
The spring season is all about balance: natural sunlight where it’s welcome, and elegant lighting where it’s not.
Summer: Celebrate the Outdoors
Summer calls for long nights, patio parties, and more time outside. Your lighting should follow you there.
- Coordinated control: Extend your indoor style outdoors with pathway lights, deck lighting, and landscape accents tied into your interior lighting system.
- One-touch transitions: When it’s time to move the party indoors, your “Nightcap” scene gently shifts the lighting and draws the curtains without interrupting the flow.
- Security after dark: Automated lighting gives the appearance of occupancy, even while you’re at the Cape for the weekend.
With a well-designed system, summer nights feel effortless, you no longer have to toggle multiple switches or run outside to unplug lights in the dark.
