Natural Light and the Gift of Well-Being

Natural light has a profound effect on humans. When sunlight enters our eyes in the morning, it produces serotonin, a neurotransmitter that provides feelings of well-being and happiness. As daylight fades away and darkness descends, melatonin, the hormone that prompts relaxation and sleep, increases. 

All these changes and many more are a product of light and darkness. Why?

For eons, we lived according to the rhythm of nature. We woke to the first light and retired when the night arrived, and our bodies responded, creating the internal environment appropriate for activity and foraging or rest. 

The trouble began when our time spent outdoors grew few and far between. By some estimates, we spend about 90% of our time indoors today. The result is restless sleep, lack of energy, low productivity, and fatigue. 

That's where Ketra's dynamic tunable lighting comes in. More than breathtaking, high-performance LED lighting, it creates an environment that enhances well-being, productivity, and the overall enjoyment of a space. 

Here, we'll explore this remarkable lighting system and how it's transforming lighting design in Southlake, TX, and the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. To learn more about this state-of-the-art system, contact Texadia Systems today.

Bringing Daylight Indoors

Ketra's natural lighting system transforms your indoor lighting and your home's environment. When activated, the color and intensity of your lights shift throughout the day, dissolving the boundaries between the interior of your home and the beauty of nature and the outdoors. At midday, your home feels infused with sunlight, inspiring activity and joy. As the day progresses, it transitions, ultimately aligning with the setting sun, promoting peace and stillness. 

Ketra's Difference

While many companies have jumped on the natural light bandwagon, Ketra's proprietary technology makes it one of the best for balancing the body's internal time clock. Its dynamic spectrum enables precise movement, letting it gradually shift in intensity and color temperature over time, aligning with the dynamic nature of sunlight and its near-infinite spectrum.

Unlike others, Ketra's functionality is pre-programmed and built-in. Because it's based on the geo-location, you know that your lighting inside matches the light outside your windows.

The Experience

In the morning, you wake to the gold-blue glow of dawn. As morning evolves, your lighting takes on a brighter white, blue-toned hue, setting the stage for productivity and increased energy levels. As the day rolls into nighttime, an amber glow takes over, telling your body it's time for rest. 

As your body adapts to the changing rhythm of natural light once again, you'll notice benefits to your sleep-wake cycle. You may wake feeling a bit more refreshed, go to sleep easier, and remain in a deep slumber throughout the night. 

As you can imagine, this type of lighting not only restores your body's balance but also creates a stunning home environment.
