The light bulb has been invented many times over, but Ketra is set to revolutionize the world of lighting one bulb at a time.

Rather than developing yet another light bulb that emits a constant glow to illuminate an interior space, Ketra makes [smart LED bulbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-lighting-product). What sets these bulbs apart from many others on the market is that they're made to emit [light that changes throughout the day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biocentric-lighting-system). For instance, in the daytime the bulbs are bright and clear, but at night, the quality of light changes to create a [softer atmosphere with a warm glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-lamp).

As well as being appealing to the residential market, Ketra is also highly appealing for modern offices and other commercial spaces where the health and wellness of employees is a top priority.
