Ketra is regularly found pushing the boundaries with residential lighting. It’s already set the benchmark with its tunable light, precise 0.1% dimming and high color accuracy over various color temperatures. However, Lutron is bringing Ketra to another level with the D2.
Taking Aesthetics To A New Level
D2 takes everything we love about the recessed Ketra D3 and brings it in a smaller footprint. While the D3 had a 3.75” diameter optical element, the D2’s size is only 2.75”. That makes the overall light over 50% smaller!
Small Size, Ketra Level Features
Even with its small size, the Ketra D2 has all the features you’d expect from one of the most versatile recessed fixtures on the market. The Ketra D2 has interchangeable lenses to refine the diffusion pattern of the lighting element. It also has a precise focus of up to 40 degrees, so the light can land precisely where you want it. It has dozens of styles and trims to make it disappear in your ceiling: flange or flangeless, circle or square, fixed or twisted and tons of other customization. And like the rest of the Ketra lineup, the D2 has all the color adjustability features you’d expect from Ketra.
Comparing Ketra D2 to D3
The Ketra D2 brings several advancements over its predecessor, the D3. One of the most significant improvements is the size reduction. The D2 features a 2.75” optical element, compared to the D3’s 3.75”, making it over 50% smaller. Thanks to a ground-up design, the Ketra D2 has an optional slimmer profile. At less than 2.2” thin, Ketra can now be installed in homes with shallow ceiling or other obstructions. This smaller footprint allows for greater flexibility in installation.
Despite its compact size, the D2 retains all the hallmark features of the D3, including interchangeable lenses for customized diffusion patterns, precise focus of up to 40 degrees, and extensive trim options. These enhancements make the Ketra D2 a smaller, more adaptive and versatile lighting solution.
Should You Get Ketra For Your Home?
Ketra has its place in residential lighting, but it’s not for everyone. Ketra is one of the most premium fixtures in the industry, and it comes with an equally premium price. For those who value 0.1% dimming, great amiability, and accurate color rendering, it’s worth noting that other fixtures can provide these features at a significantly lower cost than the Ketra D2.
However, if you own priceless art and want to tune the light or desire cutting-edge home lighting, Ketra is the best option.
