Lighting for Productivity, Mood, and Health
Human-Centric Lighting Solutions
What is Human-Centric Lighting?
Human-Centric Lighting (HCL) is a lighting design concept that aims to mimic our natural exposure to sunlight by shifting colour and light intensity throughout the day. HCL is based off the Circadian Rhythm, an internal process in our bodies that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Proper exposure to light helps to synchronise the body’s internal clock, and is proven to deliver benefits to people, including higher productivity and reduced stress.
The objective of Human-Centric Lighting is to satisfy our craving for natural sunlight, following the circadian cycle. This involves advanced lighting solutions that simulate the shifting colour spectrum and intensity of light throughout the day. This simulated natural light seamlessly blends with daylight, so you can start your day with bright, energizing light, and wind down with the same warm evening glow that you would experience outdoors as the sun starts to set.
Benefits of Human-Centric Lighting
By aligning the body’s natural circadian rhythms with appropriate light levels, occupants can enjoy the right light for any application.
Properly tuned lighting enhances cognitive function, alertness, and memory, while reducing fatigue. This is useful for all office and industrial application.
Lighting that adapts to its surroundings with adjustable colour temperature and brightness promotes a sense of comfort and well-being.
