Ketra: The Ultimate LED Lighting Solution 

Ketra's tunable lighting fixtures offer color temperatures ranging from 1,400K to 10,000K. This allows the lights to mimic daylight throughout the day, from the soft-blue hues of sunlight to the warm ambers of sunset. Mimicking daylight will help regulate your circadian rhythm even on cloudy days and let you better connect with nature as you sip a cup of coffee on your porch. 

Ketra uses a four-channel LED system composed of red, white, blue, and green LEDs to move beyond the limited cool and warm options of other tunable lights. One single fixture can recreate whites, pastels, and saturated colors with a range of up to 16.7 million color variations to choose from. 

Coastal Source: Durable Lighting for Luxury Homes

Now, you can bring the magic of Ketra outdoors with the Coastal Source modulus bullet lights. Constructed with commercial-grade solid brass, these lights will brave even Montana's toughest winter storms. With an IP68 rating, they also withstand day-to-day stress from moisture, dust, and dirt, so you don't have to worry about the light's durability. 

That durability doesn't mean they're bulky and an eyesore. They'll fit right in with the rest of your landscaping. Bullet lights come in a sleek, minimalist design and various brass, bronze, and other metal finishes for added design flexibility. 

Bring It All Together with Home Automation 

The key to getting the most out of Ketra and Coastal Source's collaboration is to integrate these bullet lights with your lighting control or home automation platform. For outdoor lighting, we particularly recommend hands-off control. For example, use a daylight scene that automatically adjusts your fixture's color temperature to match the surrounding daylight. Once the sun sets, switch to a "Spotlight" feature that pulls up precise lighting hues highlighting your favorite features. Play around with colors based on the time of year—a soft pink hue for Valentine's, red and green for Christmas, and light blue for the New Year. 

And you'll always have on-the-go control to change color and intensity from your device of choice when you're using your outdoor spaces. As the evening progresses with friends or family, it is easy to pivot to provide better illumination or lighten the mood. Adjust one fixture at a time or combine them to transform your outdoor environment at a button press.
