The history of light is a story of innovation. From the very beginning, harnessing light’s power has been one of humanity’s goals of invention: extending the day with firelight and eventually, bringing electricity indoors. Though lighting’s always been with us, its true power is just now starting to be realized: light can affect our moods, improve our mindset, and transform a space into somewhere we love to be. Enter Ketra, the next step in light’s evolution that brings back the awe-inspiring possibilities of natural light--and beyond. Ketra’s light recreates the magic of a sunrise, the warm glow of a campfire, or the soft beam of the moon. As a leader disrupting an entire industry, Ketra was acquired by Lutron Electronics in 2018, creating the complete package: beautiful light, intelligent shades, and powerful controls, all working together. We leverage the latest IoT, artificial intelligence, and semiconductor innovations to transform your home, office, and an entire industry so we make your everyday moments better.
