Ketra Lamps, Linear, and Track Lighting in Austin
Full-color, natural white A20 and S30 lamps, Lightbar Slim, G2 Linear, and track luminaires, designed and installed by Smarter Homes.
Ketra lamps, linear fixtures, and track
Every Ketra product gives the same light: four-channel natural white from 1,400K to 10,000K, 16.7 million colors, CRI 90+ with R9 above 90, and 0.1% to 100% dimming, with Color Lock and a 5-year warranty. What changes is the shape. Ketra is also the only family where Lutron lists linear fixtures. For recessed lights see Ketra downlights.

Make an existing fixture Ketra
A20 and S30 screw into standard fixtures and use Lutron Clear Connect Type X wireless, so there is no control wire to run. They suit remodels where recessed housings or sconces already exist. Lutron lists both for dry and damp locations, with outdoor use limited to enclosed or covered residential patios.
Choose A20 for decorative fixtures and S30 for anything that needs a defined beam.
Lightbar Slim or G2
- Lightbar Slim is the cabinet and shelf product. Uniform lens, 105 degree spread, mounts with a screw bracket, and modular connectors handle corners.
- G2 Linear is the architectural product. Its Graze optic washes a wall or ceiling to bring out stone, plaster, or wood texture.
- Linear Ketra costs more than Lumaris or Rania tape. We use it where color or grazing matters and tape elsewhere.

Ketra lamps and linear FAQ
Does Ketra make linear fixtures?
Yes. Lutron lists the LS0 Lightbar Slim and the G2 Linear. Lumaris and Rania list tape light instead.
What is the difference between A20 and S30?
A20 is an omni- or semi-directional lamp for decorative fixtures. S30 is a PAR lamp with beams from 15 to 90 degrees for track and recessed cans.
Can I use Ketra lamps in my existing fixtures?
Yes if the fixture takes an E26 or GU24 base and is rated for the lamp. We check each fixture.
How long can Lightbar Slim run?
Lutron lists runs up to 15 ft from a single X96 controller, in lengths of 10 to 96 inches.
Do these work with RadioRA 3?
Lutron lists HomeWorks, Athena, and myRoom XC. It does not list RadioRA 3. For RadioRA 3 we recommend Lumaris.
Is Ketra waterproof?
No. These products are rated UL Damp Location, IP20. G2 and the track luminaire are not for outdoor use.
