Ketra Headquarters · Austin, minutes from downtown

Step inside the home of Ketra.

A private tour of the Ketra headquarters in Austin, with an intimate demonstration led by the people who created the technology. See natural light that renders art, stone and skin exactly as they are.

The experience

An invitation behind the scenes.

This is not a showroom visit. It is a private tour of the facility where Ketra light is designed, engineered and tested, hosted by the Ketra team.

Walk the building, then sit down for a hands-on demonstration of natural light, tunable color, Lutron shades and control, and see how they flatter artwork, finishes, entertaining spaces and everyday living.

Tours are small and book quickly. If you do not see a date that suits you, send a request and we will find one.

Meet the makers

The Ketra team explains how the light is built and answers the questions a brochure cannot.

The full range of light

A single Ketra lamp spans 1,400K candlelight to 10,000K daylight, with color accuracy that makes art and materials look true.

Light and shade, together

See Lutron shades and Ketra light respond to the sun as one coordinated system.

Inside Ketra headquarters

A building lit entirely by the light it makes.

Designed by Austin architect Michael Hsu, the two-story headquarters is where Ketra engineers, tests and demonstrates its light. Every space you walk through is Ketra-lit and shaded by Lutron.
