Lutron: A Love for Lighting

Lutron is the global leader in smart lighting and shading control. Their collections of circadian lights and motorized shades create the perfect ambiance for luxury homes across the U.S., helping homeowners get the most out of every space. 

To add to its industry-leading portfolio of light control solutions, Lutron purchased Ketra in 2018. Their merging is the perfect match between an incomparable history of lighting innovation and the future of lighting design!

simpleHome has partnered with Lutron to offer professional installation and support worthy of the best lighting fixtures in the world. The result is home automation on a whole new level, and in a whole new light, no matter the place or time of day.

Established in 2009, Ketra creates lighting products that emulate natural lighting. Their selection of white, pastel, and saturated color lights is designed to enhance the character of any space and tailor every fixture to the particular needs of a client’s home. 

It is no surprise that Ketra’s passion for lighting caught Lutron’s attention. The success of their pairing to offer solutions for total home control is even less surprising.
