Tips From The Top

At the height of summer when there’s so much abundant light, you might not be thinking about how important light is – except for those of us who cherish our outdoor environments, who are paying attention to the most subtle changes in the season. If you’re up early or staying up late, you’re probably aware that we are on the other side of the summer solstice, about a month away from that high point of summer light. Our days are getting shorter, our nights longer, and all this light is slowly getting smaller, day by day.

If you’re like us at Jackson Hole A/V, you’re thinking about how to keep this abundance of light going all year round – inside our homes, where we spend more time as the months getting colder. (Or where we come to retreat after long, invigorating days enjoying our outdoor winter recreation!)

If you’re looking for an innovative, elegant source to illuminate your world, Lutron, one of our favorite smart lighting providers, has completely re-envisioned and designed every aspect of its Ketra architectural downlight. It’s really something to see.

The Ketra D2 is a modular downlight, quiet, precise, with interchangeable components to meet your home’s specific design and aesthetic needs.

First, what’s Ketra? Lutron’s Ketra is the best artificial light source in the world that replicates natural light. And we’re talking every kind of natural light – from sunlight to candles to the moon. Ketra full spectrum Natural Light completely changes how you will experience light in your own home, every day of the year. No other light source more closely replicates natural light, from candlelight to moonlight.

Let’s talk about the instrument itself: a two-inch aperture with cutting-edge optics that allows the fixture itself to literally disappear into the ceiling. For those of you who value your home’s aesthetics and design (in other words, all of our clients), you know how important this feature is.

The fixture uses a tilt and rotation system so that you can define its TruBeam optics, aiming that light exactly where you want it. It also has a universal collar adapter with six collars to best fit your home’s architectural design.

The power source is easily maintained and replaced – a huge plus.

If you’re looking to continue the energy, warmth, and abundance of natural lighting in your own home, Lutron’s Ketra D2 could completely change how you experience light every day and night, in all seasons.
