  • Lighting for Health & Well-being

    These days, our homes have become even more important to our overall health and well-being. Many of us live, work, learn, and recreate at home. The overall aesthetic and the environment need to support our quality of life on a very basic level.

    Light plays a huge role in our daily quality of life.

    As the darker winter months approach, many of us may already feel the negative effects of less daytime light. While some of us may suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, others may simply notice they may feel more tired, less energetic, more subdued.

    To help our clients get the most out of their home’s lighting systems, we at Jackson Hole A/V are pleased to offer Ketra Lighting, the most advanced lighting system for luxury homes. Devoted to human-centric lighting, Ketra allows us to create lighting systems that bring the nuances of daylight indoors.

    As a completely customizable lighting system, Ketra leads the way in how LED lighting can transform our experience of interior lighting. Ketra innovators understand how light is alive - dynamic and always changing – and the systems and hardware they design emulate the best of how light can enhance our mood and well-being, while complementing all the activities we do at home.

    While there are many consumer color-changing lights on the market today, Ketra and other architectural lighting systems fully integrate into a larger platform, using more advanced technology to give clients far-ranging options to customize their lighting to their specific needs. Ketra clients can fully control their home’s lighting through their mobile app – creating and changing scenes and color temperature, setting just the right mood and tone for the event and time. You can create a warm glow of a fire, or the cool of moonlight, or create entirely new lighting scenes of your own design.

    Ketra offers a unique lighting solution to move along what is known as the “Black Body Curve,” mimicking the dynamic nature of sunlight throughout the day. The lighting system actually shifts intensity and color temperature to imitate sunlight indoors. Of all the color-changing bulbs available today, only Ketra actually shifts gradually over time to truly mimic daylight. People can experience the nature of sunlight indoors – all winter long.

    Two years ago, Ketra was acquired by Lutron, a global leader in lighting, renowned for its shading systems and lighting controls. This allowed for even greater horizons for personalized lighting, with fully integrated control of daytime light through shading and electric light.
