Human-centered lighting can help adjust people's daily rhythm and increase their motivation, well-being, and productivity.
Light has a lot of effect on us. It does not only allow us to see, the light stimulates us, influences our mood and our level of activity. Because, the characteristics of the light, as the color, the intensity and the moment of diffusion determine our behavior. The artificial lighting of our environment is also of great importance because we spend a lot of time indoors. Human-centered lighting solutions can help regulate circadian rhythm (regulate the internal clock), prevent sleep disturbances, increase concentration, and improve overall well-being. In short, we need light as a reference for our internal clock.


Where is the lighting centered on the human?


Education

The perfect lighting in the morning, with enough clarity and shades of blue, can help prepare for the day ahead. Especially in schools, an active mind and a high concentration are important to follow the lessons. Light can not only be used to adjust the daily pace of students and teachers but also to be more efficient during tests and tasks that require concentration. For example, the teacher can adjust a cold white light (4000K) during his activities or dimmed during relaxation and group discussions.

Offices

Workplace lighting can also influence alertness, mood, cognitive performance, health status, and sleep. This, in addition to providing sufficient brightness to work in good conditions. A semi-automatic control system where part of the cycles are automated for example in the morning when we need a lot of energy is the best solution. During the day, employees can adjust the temperature color and intensity according to their preferences.

Healthcare

In hospitals and care centers for the elderly, residents often have less access to daylight. Extended sessions indoors tend to disrupt sleep patterns. Most importantly, patients with dementia and other cognitive disorders are very vulnerable to reduced brightness. The effects of daylight on patients are more important on activities during the day, the short recovery periods, improve sleep and reduce the intake of antidepressants. Lighting has a positive influence on eating habits and how to communicate with patients and residents. All of this ends up having an influence on the motivation of the staff also knowing that the residents and the patients feel better.

Industry

Lighting fixtures with higher light intensity and adjustable white light can help increase employee output, reduce fatigue, accidents, and errors. These effects are even better when tasks need to be repeated often enough. A greater luminous intensity combined with the good light color and a good diffusion of light makes it possible to be very vigilant between the employees. Lighting for rotating employees ensures and facilitates shifting during night rotations.
