Illuminate the Seasons with Home Lighting Control
Choreographing Lighting with Lifestyle
One of the best things about living in Colorado is the varied four-season climate. And with the elevation in Colorado Springs, the mountain lighting varies even more. Did you know that your home's lighting can adapt to the rhythm of the seasons? Let's explore how smart home lighting control matches your illumination to the season, enhances indoor activities, and improves overall wellness.

Four Seasons of Light
Your home's ambiance can transform the same way as the landscape does. In spring, Lutron HomeWorks and Ketra's tunable lighting create your personal sunrise, gently easing you into longer days. You can awaken to the soft glow of the morning that brightens gradually, mirroring nature's own rhythm.
In summer, motorized shades can tame the hot Colorado sun while still preserving mountain views. As dusk falls, preset outdoor lighting scenes extend your enjoyment of balmy evenings.
Fall brings golden hues, and Ketra's warm-tone capabilities enhance autumn's rich palette indoors. You can customize your own fall color palette indoors to match the changing scenery outside.
Winter's long nights might affect some, but you can change that with precise lighting control from Lutron HomeWorks. Program a "Winter Warmth" scene to maintain cheerful brightness, gradually increasing light levels throughout the day. It's like a secret weapon against winter blues, keeping spirits high even when the skies are gray.
High Altitude Light Management
Living at elevation presents unique lighting challenges. The intense midday sun can create harsh glare, while short winter days can leave you feeling like you're living in perpetual twilight. Ketra's tunable lighting can adjust throughout the day to complement the natural light, softening harsh midday glares and brightening gloomy corners.
Many Colorado Springs homes sport floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase breathtaking mountain views. Motorized shades integrated with your lighting system help manage the ideal blend of natural and artificial light. They can automatically lower to reduce glare and heat during the day and rise in the evening as your indoor lighting creates a cozy atmosphere against the backdrop of twinkling city lights below.
Better Lighting for Wellness
Did you know that light plays a crucial role in regulating your body's internal clock? Lighting that matches the natural human circadian rhythm can increase daytime energy, improve mood, and better prepare you for sleep.
Ketra's tunable lighting, seamlessly controlled by Lutron HomeWorks, can mimic the natural progression of daylight. For example, your bedroom can slowly brighten with cool, energizing light in the morning, shifting to clear, focused light in your home office, then transitioning to a warm, relaxing glow in the evening. In your home gym, circadian lighting can give you an extra edge—program cool, invigorating light for morning workouts or a gentle, warm ambiance for evening yoga sessions. Your home spa can transform from an energizing retreat to a calming oasis with just the right lighting scene.
