02Beyond the Catalogue

Luxury Lighting
Without Boundaries

Kerr is not a lighting shop with a warehouse of fixed products. We operate as a design and engineering house — the fixture is the last decision we make, not the first.

  • We source globally Curated manufacturing partners across Europe and Asia, selected on optics and build quality — not price lists.
  • We customise Dimensions, optics, finishes and controls adapted to the drawing rather than the drawing adapted to a product.
  • We manufacture In-house and partner production for fixtures that simply do not exist in a catalogue.
  • We engineer Thermal, electrical and optical engineering validated before a single unit ships.
  • We design Lighting schemes authored by designers, documented and simulated end to end.
  • We develop for each project Every specification is built around one building, one brief, one atmosphere.

Designed Around Light

Most suppliers begin with a product code. Kerr begins with the architecture and the atmosphere it deserves — the fixture is simply the instrument that delivers it.

15Knowledge

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions architects, developers and homeowners ask us most often.

How do I choose lighting for my home?+

Start with how each room is used rather than with products. We map tasks, focal points and moods, then layer ambient, accent, task and decorative lighting so the space works at every hour of the day.

What is CRI?+

Colour Rendering Index measures how faithfully a light source reveals colour compared to natural light. We specify Ra 90+ as standard and Ra 97 with high R9 where skin tones, art and materials matter most.

What beam angle should I use?+

Narrow beams of 10–24° for accenting art and features, 36° for general accent layers, and 60° or wider for ambient coverage. Ceiling height and the object's size determine the final choice.

What is anti-glare lighting?+

Fixtures engineered with deep recess, honeycomb louvres or shielded optics so you see the illuminated surface, not the source. It keeps UGR low and interiors visually calm.

What is magnetic lighting?+

A low-voltage 48V track embedded into the ceiling that accepts magnetic spots, floods, linear and pendant modules — the layout can be changed at any time without electrical work.

What is DALI?+

Digital Addressable Lighting Interface, a wired professional protocol where every fixture is individually addressable for scenes, tuneable white (DT8), emergency testing and building integration.

What is Matter?+

A universal smart home standard that lets a single fixture work natively with Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa, protecting your installation against future ecosystem changes.

What is Zigbee?+

A reliable low-power mesh protocol. Each device strengthens the network, giving robust wireless control with scenes, schedules and voice across large residences.

Can I automate all lighting?+

Yes. Circadian scenes, occupancy, daylight harvesting, astronomical timing and scheduled scenes can be applied across the whole property, indoor and outdoor.

Can Kerr design lighting?+

Lighting design is where every Kerr project begins. We produce layouts, lux calculations, beam studies and Dialux simulations before a single fixture is selected.

Can you customise chandeliers?+

Yes. Diameter, drop, crystal type, frame finish, lamp count, colour temperature and control protocol are all built to your space and ceiling structure.

Can I order custom sizes?+

Custom dimensions are routine for us — linear runs, pendant clusters, recessed apertures and facade profiles are manufactured to your architectural drawings.

What warranty do you provide?+

Standard warranty ranges from 2 to 5 years depending on product family, with extended cover available on project supply and full after-sales technical support.

How long does manufacturing take?+

Stocked ranges dispatch immediately. Customised fixtures typically take 3–6 weeks, and complex bespoke chandeliers 6–10 weeks including prototyping and approval.

Can Kerr install lighting?+

Yes. Our teams handle installation, aiming, focusing, driver setup and full commissioning, coordinating with your electrical and interior contractors.

Can you work with architects?+

We work directly with architects and interior designers from concept stage, providing IES files, cut sheets, RCP mark-ups, simulations and specification support.

What colour temperature should I choose?+

2700K for warm residential intimacy, 3000K for balanced luxury interiors, 4000K for workspaces and clinical areas. Tuneable white lets one fixture cover several moods.

Do you provide Dialux simulations?+

Yes. We deliver false-colour lux maps, uniformity ratios, glare analysis and photorealistic renders so you can see the result before installation begins.

Can lighting be added later to a Kerr system?+

Our systems are designed for expansion. Additional magnetic modules, DALI addresses or Casambi nodes can be added without replacing the existing infrastructure.

Do you supply outdoor and facade lighting?+

We supply IP65 to IP68 rated inground, grazing, step and landscape fixtures engineered for coastal, tropical and high-humidity environments.

What is the difference between a supplier and a lighting partner?+

A supplier sells what is in the catalogue. Kerr designs the scheme, engineers or sources the right fixture, programmes the control system and supports it for its lifetime.

Do you offer energy optimisation?+

Yes. We calculate installed load per square metre, optimise beam distribution to reduce fixture counts and configure automation to cut unnecessary running hours.
