Ketra vs. Standard Smart Bulbs   

Why Choose Ketra Over Other Home Lighting Control Solutions?

When it comes to smart lighting control, Ketra stands out as a premium, high-performance option with unparalleled capabilities compared to other consumer-grade smart bulbs. Ketra takes home light control to the next level and is a top choice for architects and interior designers. 

So why should a homeowner choose Ketra over other smart lights such as Philips Hue or Wyze? In this blog post, we'll explore the key features and benefits that make Ketra the preferred choice for discerning homeowners and designers in Asheville.

What Makes Ketra Lighting Special? 

Unmatched Color Tuning

One of the standout features of Ketra bulbs is their ability to produce an astounding 16 million colors. This wide color range allows for precise color tuning and the recreation of natural daylight indoors. In contrast, many DIY smart bulbs on the market have a more limited color palette, often restricted to a few thousand colors or preset color temperatures.

Exceptional Dimming Control

Ketra bulbs excel in their dimming capabilities, allowing them to dim to an incredibly low 0.1% of their maximum brightness. This expansive dimming range provides homeowners with precise lighting control, enabling the creation of subtle, ambient lighting or bright, task-oriented illumination. 

DIY smart bulbs often struggle to achieve such a smooth and wide dimming range, leading to inconsistent or abrupt changes in brightness.

Consistent Color Across Fixtures

Ketra fixtures include built-in sensors that monitor and adjust the color output to match the desired setting, ensuring consistent color across multiple fixtures. This is a significant advantage over many DIY smart bulbs, which can exhibit color inconsistencies, especially when mixing different brands or models within the same space.

Seamless Integration with Lutron 

When integrated into a Lutron HomeWorks control system, Ketra bulbs become part of a cohesive and intuitive lighting solution. Homeowners can easily group, schedule, and control their Ketra fixtures through the Lutron app or voice commands, ensuring that all lights turn on and change together without any "popcorning" or “flickering” effect. This level of integration and coordination is often lacking in DIY smart bulb setups, where individual bulbs may not communicate or synchronize effectively.

Architectural Lighting Focus

Ketra is designed as a premium, high-performance lighting solution for luxury homes and commercial spaces, whereas many DIY smart bulbs are more consumer-focused. This means that Ketra bulbs are engineered to deliver exceptional lighting quality, durability, and reliability, making them a preferred choice for professional designers and integrators like us who demand the best architectural lighting for their clients.

The Tradeoff: Higher Cost

Ketra’s advanced features and performance do come with a higher price tag than DIY smart bulbs. However, for homeowners and designers who value exceptional lighting quality, precise control, and seamless integration, the investment in Ketra can be well worth it.
