An Evening of Architecture & Design in Lighting Control

Our second time hosting the Lutron + Ketra Restaurant event series was another huge hit among 60+ professionals from the design and hospitality communities. Guests enjoyed a three-course immersive meal and experienced how tunable lighting and scene creation enhances the dining experience. We were fortunate to have Sarah Richter and Scott Guenther join the events to share their expertise and firsthand knowledge in design with Lutron.
