Ketra uses a four-channel tunable LED system composed of red, green, blue, and white LEDs. Their four channel system produces the widest spectrum available, from 1,400K to 10,000K, enabling users to create a range from "warm candlelight glow” to “cool arctic sky.” Proprietary color mixing and driver technology enables very high quality white light with a high degree of precision, with a color rendering index (CRI) and R9 greater than 90 that can be achieved at any point from 2,700K to 5,000K. The result is called Dynamic Spectrum: a full color gamut of tunability that can achieve excellent color rendering and quality white light from a single source.

With the design of Ketra's lighting solutions, every light is catered to your own daily rhythm. Ketra using an idea known as warm dimming to help cater each light source to your mood. “Warm dimming” refers to a light source’s gradual shift from a cooler “daylight white” at higher levels of brightness, to a warmer, amber color at lower light levels. Traditional light sources, such as the incandescent lamp, are blackbody radiators—just like the sun. This means they absorb all the radiation that strikes them, and emit an equal amount of radiation based on their temperature. Unlike typical LED lighting, Ketra generates white light by combining multiple, saturated red, green, and blue primary light sources with a phosphor converted white LED.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will a Tesla Powerwall benefit my home?

Installing a Tesla Powerwall provides homeowners with significant benefits, including energy independence and cost savings. The Tesla Powerwall stores excess energy generated by solar panels, allowing homeowners to use it during peak times or power outages, reducing reliance on the grid. This not only lowers electricity bills but also offers a backup power source during emergencies.

Is a battery backup system right for my automated home?

Installing a battery backup system in your smart home ensures continuous power during outages, protecting critical devices like security systems, lighting, and appliances. It also allows you to store energy from renewable sources like solar, reducing reliance on the grid and lowering energy costs. With smart home integration, battery backups can optimize energy usage, providing real-time monitoring and enabling efficient power management. This not only enhances energy security but also supports sustainability by reducing your home's carbon footprint and lowering your electricity bill.

How can Solar Batteries benefit my home?

Solar batteries can greatly enhance your home by storing excess energy generated from solar panels, making it available when you need it most. This allows you to use solar power even when the sun isn’t shining, such as at night or during cloudy days. By reducing reliance on the grid, solar batteries help lower electricity bills and provide a backup power source during outages. They also increase energy efficiency by maximizing the use of renewable energy, helping homeowners contribute to a more sustainable environment while maintaining control over their energy usage.

I want to reduce my energy bills, what automation systems can I use to help me do this?

Automating your home can significantly reduce your energy footprint by optimizing the use of electricity and other resources. Smart thermostats, for example, can learn your schedule and adjust heating or cooling based on when you're home, avoiding unnecessary energy use. Automated lighting systems can turn off lights in unoccupied rooms, while smart plugs can cut power to idle devices. By monitoring and controlling energy consumption through home automation, homeowners can ensure that energy is used only when necessary, leading to greater efficiency, lower energy bills, and a reduced environmental impact.

What are the best smart automation ideas to better manage my energy consumption?

To better manage your energy consumption, smart automation devices from top brands can make a significant difference. Installing a Nest or Ecobee smart thermostat allows you to control heating and cooling more efficiently by learning your habits and adjusting temperatures accordingly. Smart lighting systems from Philips Hue or Lutron can automate lighting, turning lights off when not in use or dimming them based on natural light. Wemo or TP-Link smart plugs can automatically cut power to idle devices, eliminating phantom energy waste.
