Lutron Electronics has debuted its Ketra D2 and Rania D2 architectural downlights. D2 ushers in a new chapter for the company, making Ketra and Rania available in a smaller form factor than ever — a new 2-inch aperture downlight.
With the launch of Ketra D2, users can now experience the characteristic elements of Lutron with dynamic lighting that adapts to various moments throughout the day and sets the desired ambiance, in the form of the brand’s smallest and most flexible downlight offering to-date. With both new downlights, people will experience high quality of light in any space in the home.
“Quality of light means more than just measuring color rendering index (CRI) or dimming capabilities,” says Ben Bard, VP of luxury residential business at Lutron. “It’s about a light source’s ability to perfectly replicate natural light across a wide spectrum and then maintain that exact light output over its lifetime. Ketra uniquely delivers this quality of light and it’s now available in a 2-inch aperture. Additionally, Rania’s unique light engine sets a new bar for white light in the industry.”
Lutron’s luxury lighting portfolio is anchored on elevating the experience and quality of light in the home. Ketra and Rania light sources work seamlessly with Lutron’s premium lighting controls and shades to create personalized spaces. Both fixtures are also wirelessly controlled, saving time and money, and reducing the space needed for panels. As the market continues to shift towards “quiet ceilings” featuring increasingly discreet recessed fixtures and a desire for consistently reliable lighting performance, the D2 represents one of the most versatile and advanced architectural lighting solutions to-date.
