Human centric lightingExperiencing natural light

Norms and regulations ensure compliance to important minimum standards with lighting design. However, this "following the rule book" approach only partly exploits the potential of a lighting solution. An intelligent HCL lighting solution adapts its luminous intensity and light colour precisely to the individual needs of the user, improving personal work conditions.

Depending on age, mood and health, "optimum" light means different things for different people. Visual acuity for example decreases with age, which is why older employees usually need higher illuminance than their younger colleagues. With an HCL lighting solution, central lighting parameters such as light colour and illuminance can be individually varied to provide exactly the right light for the particular user.

Going to work and returning home in the dark: those working from 9 to 5 in offices get to see little natural sunlight, especially in the winter months which can dampen moods and influence the sleeping and waking cycle. With a circadian lighting solution the spectral composition of the office lighting dynamically changes, analogue to natural sunlight, over the course of the day – this strengthens the biological rhythm and improves well-being.

Flexible areas of work, networked working in a team and zonal work areas – typical office work has changed dramatically in recent years. With a lighting solution that can be adapted flexibly to the specific situation, optimum visual conditions are ensured everywhere despite such high flexibility. To ensure that users feel good at any desk, they can set up their own personal lighting scenario with an HCL solution and take it with them to any workstation using an app.
