Biologically effective light: enhanced performance, greater sense of wellbeing

Light, motivation and performance are more interlinked than you might think. That is because light synchronises our "internal clock". A biologically effective lighting installation supports bodily functions by delivering light tailored to our needs at all times – we feel good, fit and dynamic.

A few years ago, researchers discovered cells in the retina of the eye that are not used for vision – they set our internal clock. Chronobiologists, lighting manufacturers and architects now have a chance to pool their efforts and substantially improve our quality of life. Dynamic lighting recreates the biological effect of natural light indoors, bringing daylight into the building and supplementing it, as required, with artificial light of the right brightness and colour temperature.
