Light, Not Just Control
Why Lutron Fixtures and Lutron Controls Belong Together
One system, one app, no mismatched light.
Most smart lighting lets you control your lights. Lutron's lighting families change what the light itself looks like. Warm, candle-like evenings. Crisp, clean daylight at the kitchen island. Artwork that finally looks the way the artist painted it.
When fixtures and controls come from different brands, you get flicker, mismatched color from room to room, and a pile of apps. Ketra, Rania, and Lumaris are built to work natively with Lutron HomeWorks and RadioRA 3.
Smooth Dimming
Every fixture dims smoothly, all the way down, with no flicker.
Matched Color
Light looks the same from room to room across the whole house.
One System
The whole home runs from one set of keypads and one app.
Lutron Intelligent Lighting
Three Lighting Families, One Standard of Quality
The right light for every room and every budget.
The Flagship
Ketra
The best light Lutron makes. Full-spectrum light that can follow the sun from warm dawn to bright midday and back to amber at night, with a white range from 1,400K to 10,000K plus rich, saturated color. Ketra was born right here in Austin, and it's the choice for great rooms, art walls, and homes where light is part of the architecture.
Natural White Light
Rania
Natural white light, beautifully done. Rania gives you Ketra-level natural white light from 1,800K to 5,500K without the color features, and it can shift automatically through the day to mirror daylight. For many homes, Rania is the sweet spot of quality and value.
The Entry Point
Lumaris
Intelligent lighting made accessible. Tunable white light from 1,800K to 4,000K in recessed and tape fixtures, including options for finished ceilings and existing cans. Ideal for remodels, secondary spaces, and under-cabinet, cove, and shelf lighting.

Lighting Design Services
Great Lighting Starts With a Lighting Plan
We design the light, not just the fixtures.
Fixtures are only half the story. Where light lands, how warm it feels, and what each room looks like at 7 a.m. and at 10 p.m. are design decisions, and they're far easier to get right before the drywall goes up.
Simple AV offers lighting design as its own service, with or without our installation. We work alongside your architect, builder, and interior designer to plan fixtures, layers, and controls as one system, whether your project calls for Ketra, Rania, Lumaris, or another architectural fixture line. Already have an electrician? We'll hand them a complete lighting plan.
Step 01
Consult & Walkthrough
We review your plans or walk the space and learn how you actually use each room, morning to night.
Step 02
Lighting Plan
Fixture layout, beam spreads, and color temperature, layered into ambient, task, accent, and architectural light.
Step 03
Controls & Scenes
Keypad locations, scenes, and daylight schedules, planned on paper before prewire.
Step 04
Install, Aim & Tune
We install and aim every fixture, then fine-tune scenes after you move in.

Lighting + Shades
Lighting and Shades, Designed as One
Control the sun and your lights together.
Austin sun is beautiful until it's glaring off your TV at 4 p.m. Because we're Lutron-certified in shading as well as lighting, your shades and lights work as one system. Shades lower as the afternoon heat builds, and lights shift warmer as the sun goes down.
Control
Controlled by HomeWorks
Elegant keypads, a simple app, and scenes that just work.
HomeWorks is Lutron's flagship control system, and it's what brings Ketra, Rania, and Lumaris to life. Tap "Dinner," "Movie," or "Goodnight," and every light and shade in the house responds. For smaller projects, RadioRA 3 delivers much of the same experience.

FAQ
Lutron Lighting FAQs
If you love natural light, have art to show off, or are building a home where lighting is a design priority, yes. For rooms where great white light is enough, Rania or Lumaris gives you most of the experience for less.
Ketra does full-spectrum white light plus saturated color. Rania focuses on natural white light. Many homes mix both: Ketra in the showcase rooms, Rania everywhere else.
Yes. Lumaris and several Ketra and Rania fixtures are designed for finished ceilings and existing cans, so a retrofit doesn't mean tearing out drywall.
As early as possible, ideally during architectural planning, before prewire. Fixture placement, wiring, and keypad locations are much easier to get right on paper than in drywall.
Yes, with or without our installation. We create a lighting plan covering fixture layout, layers of light, color temperature, and keypad and scene planning, and coordinate it with your architect, builder, and interior designer. If your electrician is handling the install, they get a complete plan to build from.
Yes. Lutron integrates with the major home automation platforms, so your lighting can live inside a whole-home system.
