Biocentric Lighting, BCL, is lighting with benefits for health and well-being beyond the visual impact of light. It is designed to guide our circadian rhythm to ensure good health and great performance. Access to daylight is crucial to sustain a balanced circadian rhythm. People living in elderly care facilities often spend most of their time indoors, in static and insufficient light environments, preventing them from receiving the amount of daylight necessary to meet their biological needs.
At the same time their need for daylight is bigger than for younger people. Biocentric lighting recreates daylight indoors by mimicking the most important aspects of daylight to help you sustain a healthy circadian rhythm. It is about getting the right light at the right time.

Benefits of Biocentric lighting

• Better Sleep
• Improved mood
• Reduced depression with dementia patients
• Reduced number of falls
• Improved work environment for the staff

Improve sleep quality and well-being for residents in elderly care facilities! A ready-made set comes with a pre-calculated Biocentric lighting design, delivering health benefits for everyone around a table in communal areas.

INSTALL

The Biocentric lighting luminaires are easy to install over tables providing Biocentric lighting for the people sitting around the table. Simply mount the luminaires, plug in the power and mount the wireless switch. The light switch uses an energy-harvesting technology where the energy needed to control the light is generated with the push of a button. No cables, no batteries and it can be placed anywhere. The light recipe that comes with the set is developed and tailored specifically for an elderly care environment, to maintain a healthy circadian rhythm for the residents

Recipes

• Standard: The standard recipe provides the best balance between circadian impact and visual comfort.
• Plus: A recipe that maximizes the circadian impact while still following gradual daytime variation. This recipe gives extra high circadian impact during the day. It will automatically transition back to Standard recipe after 60 minutes.
• Dining: A recipe to be used during meals that will give more light during early morning and evening to ensure enough light during meals regardless of time of day. The recipe is designed to make the food look more appetizing and will automatically transition back to the Standard recipe after 60 minutes.
