BRAINLIT ALVEN™ – QUICK GUIDE
Welcome to the world of BioCentric Lighting™
BrainLit Alven™ is the world’s first personal, connected, and dynamic
BioCentric Lighting™ system in a free-standing LED luminaire. It is a multi-
user system and can also be connected to the BrainLit cloud.
The Autolite recipe of BrainLit Alven™ provides optimal light conditions for
aligning your circadian rhythm. The light conditions can be further adjusted
through the BrainLit app. With the app, you can choose e.g. the “Boost” scene
to receive a light shower for extra energy.

connector from the pole (B), making sure they are firmly connected and that
the latching hooks have connected properly.
Thread the luminaire (A) over the pole (B) and make sure that all cables are
running free into the pole (B) and are not pinched or damaged.

four bolts (D) using the torx key (E).
Connect power
Raise your Alven to a standing position with its foot on the floor. Insert the
power cable (F), first to your Alven and then to the wall outlet. It will take
about 2 minutes for your Alven to start once the power cord has been
connected.
Alven can be connected to a network using wifi or an ethernet cable (not

Autolite
The Autolite recipe is the default setting that best helps you maintain your
circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm is referred to as our ”biological
clock” that regulates our well-being, alertness, and sleep. To maintain your
normal circadian rhythm you should use AutoLit without dimming the light
intensity as often as possible.
If you adjust the brightness of BrainLit Alven using the (+) or (-) buttons,
you will exit AutoLit and the light will remain at a static light intensity
until you turn BrainLit Alven off and back on. It may take a few days for your
eyes to adapt to the brightness of your BrainLit Alven™. Colour pr PrintMatte

a refreshing effect. Recommended usage is a 20 minutes or shorter ”light
shower” preferably during the first half of the day (08.00-14.00).
