- Biocentric Lighting is a type of lighting that goes beyond visual impact to support health and well-being by influencing circadian rhythms.
- How does the energy-harvesting technology work for the light switch?
- The energy-harvesting technology generates the energy needed to control the light with the push of a button, eliminating the need for cables or batteries.
- What are the light impact specifications for different table sizes?
- 1.5m table: BCL impact nighttime 10lux mEDI / 0.02 CS, BCL impact facing table > 700lux mEDI / 0.53 CS
- 3.1m table: BCL impact nighttime 10lux mEDI / 0.02 CS, BCL impact facing table > 800lux mEDI / 0.55 CS
- 4.8m table: BCL impact nighttime 10lux mEDI / 0.02 CS, BCL impact facing table > 850lux mEDI / 0.56 CS
PRODUCT INFORMATION
- 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 greater 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 in 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 readymade set comes with a pre-calculated Biocentric lighting design, delivering health benefits for everyone around a table in communal areas.
EASY TO 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
The recipes:
- Standard: The standard recipe provides the best balance between circadian impact and visual comfort.
