What is Human Centric Lighting?

Human Centric Lighting, is in basic terms tailoring your businesses lighting to the needs of the human body, in order to simulate changes in natural daylight. This is scientifically proven to improve performance, health and wellbeing, particularly with regards to hormones that affect blood pressure, heart rate, vitality, memory and mood.

Natural Daylight is one of the most important sources for stimulating our bodies natural rhythm, we naturally feel full of energy when the sun is shining and tired when it gets dark. the pressures of modern society and busy lives is moving us further away from “normal” working hours and habits.

Where we spend more time in workplaces with limited daylight, dark meeting rooms or artificial light our bodies natural day-night rhythm also called our circadian rhythm can be seriously disrupted.

Lighting tailored to the natural lighting needs of people should follow these basic principles:

  • The more daylight – the better
  • Artificial lighting should adapt automatically throughout the course of the day
  • The most energising lighting covers a wide-area overhead area, imitating how the Sun would illuminate the sky
  • Bright, cold white light with a high proportion of blue is most effective at the start of the day until after lunch
  • Warm white, direct light without blue is better in the evening, as it helps our body relax and prepare for the night
  • Warm white light with the lowest possible brightness should be used, at least two hours before sleeping and screen-time should be limited
