    Lighting & Shading Systems

    Architectural Light — Keypads, Scenes & Circadian Wellness

    Overview

    Lighting defines architecture. It creates mood, directs attention, protects art, and supports wellbeing. In a properly designed luxury home, lighting transitions seamlessly from energizing morning whites to warm amber evenings — automatically, invisibly, beautifully.

    Peters Audio Video designs lighting environments using the industry's finest platforms — Lutron RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks for shading and dimming, Savant for unified control, Ketra for tunable-white architectural fixtures, and DMF for recessed downlighting.

    Every lighting system we program includes scene-based control from elegant keypads, mobile apps, and voice — 'Entertain,' 'Relax,' 'Goodnight,' 'Cinema' — one touch transforms the entire home.

    Common Questions

    Lighting & Shading Systems — Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Ketra lighting and how does it differ from standard LED?

    Ketra is a full-spectrum LED lighting system, now part of Lutron, engineered for colour accuracy and natural-light emulation. Unlike standard dimmable LED, every Ketra fixture tunes across white colour temperatures and the full colour spectrum while holding a CRI above 90, so skin tones, artwork, and finishes render the way the designer intended. Each fixture is individually addressable and calibrated at the factory, which is why Ketra is specified in estates where lighting quality is treated as an architectural material rather than a utility.

    What is the Ketra S30 and where is it used?

    The Ketra S30 is a PAR30-format lamp that delivers Ketra's full-spectrum tunable output in a standard recessed housing. It is the most common way to bring Ketra into an existing home, because it retrofits into conventional cans without rebuilding ceilings. We specify S30 lamps for art walls, kitchens, and living spaces where natural-light emulation and colour accuracy matter, and pair them with Lutron or Savant keypads for scene recall.

    Can Ketra fixtures be controlled from Lutron or Savant?

    Yes. Ketra integrates natively with Lutron HomeWorks and works alongside Savant and Control4 automation, so full-spectrum tuning becomes part of the same scenes that drive shades, audio, and climate. A single keypad press can shift colour temperature, dim level, and shade position together.

    What does architectural lighting control cost for a luxury home?

    A focused lighting-control system for a 3,000–4,000 sq ft home typically runs $25,000–$60,000. Whole-estate systems with tunable-white or full-spectrum fixtures, motorized shading, and keypad design across 8,000+ sq ft generally range from $100,000 to $350,000, depending on fixture count and the proportion of Ketra or comparable colour-tuning fixtures specified.
