The Latest Lighting Systems Include Full-Spectrum and Tunable Lighting

There’s something incredibly beautiful about the changing light on the Big Island. From the soft blue skies at sunrise to the golden-violet glow at sunsets, we’re blessed to live in a place that offers such beauty. 

Unfortunately, most of us spend much of our time indoors. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, we spend, on average, almost 90% of our days inside buildings. That's nearly the opposite of our ancestors, who spent 90% of their time outdoors. Their bodies' internal time clocks were set to the sun, responding with increased energy during the day and relaxing when evening descended. 

By spending time indoors, we lose touch with that natural rhythm. At least, we did. Lutron’s Ketra lighting changed that by revolutionizing LED lighting and bringing the dynamic power of natural light indoors. 

Let’s explore what that means for us and our Kona, HI, homes.
