Healthe lighting products are designed with proprietary, engineered spectra technology to deliver circadian wellbeing for occupants of the built environment. The GoodDay® spectrum is blue-enriched at 480 nanometers (nm), which is the peak wavelength for the body's circadian sensitivity. GoodDay simulates the blue in natural sunlight, helps to increase our alertness and has the potential to improve productivity during the day. The GoodNight® spectrum, which is blue-depleted at 480 nm, promotes the body's natural response to sunset. It enables a better nights' sleep relative to conventional lighting.

Today, Healthe products featuring both the GoodDay and GoodNight spectra can be controlled through Bluetooth wireless switches or 0-10V inputs. With the introduction of SunLync, users can benefit throughout the day from pre-programmed circadian lighting with Healthe's dynamic spectrum, wireless solutions.

"The addition of SunLync to the Healthe product portfolio increases the benefits provided by these products because, now, the lighting spectrum will change autonomously depending on location and time of the day" says Gene Daniell, Director of Commercial Productsfor Healthe. "The spectral transitions enabled by SunLync are seamless, so visual comfort is not compromised. We remove the hassle for the user and the resulting lighting is tailored for their circadian rhythm."

With easy installation and no programming required, SunLync suits a variety of 24/7 applications, such as residential homes, senior living facilities, hotels, college campuses and hospitals. SunLync is ideal for Healthe customers who are looking for automatic, dynamic lighting functionality. Currently, SunLync is available for use with the Good Day&Night™ Downlight and Troffer and will be compatible with the dynamic spectrum SunTrac™ A19 launching soon.

The Verandah at Graywood, a Sunshine Retirement Living community in Lake Charles, Louisiana, recently deployed SunLync in their assisted living and expanded memory care community. Approximately 650 Good Day&Night Downlights are installed in the community and orchestrated by SunLync.

The aging eye and its influence on melanopic effects

Kevan Shaw, Lighting Consulting and Founder of KSLD. As the owner and operator of a pair of significantly aging eyes I have a considerable interest in how this effects my visual and non visual relationship with light. As a lighting designer who has been active for 50 years, I have had the idea that yellowing of the lens degrades visual performance significantly heavily promoted. Also, the idea that simply increasing illumination levels is a panacea that universally improves vision for the aged eye is the only solution.

Beyond tunable white: spectral control for circadian lighting in healthcare

Xavier Denis, Head of Technical Support and Technical Marketing at Nichia Europe. For readers working with Human Centric Lighting (HCL), the broad principles will be familiar. Light exposure impacts more than visual performance. Healthcare is an application where its timing, intensity and spectrum deserve particular attention.

Sunlight, UVB and vitamin D – Human Centric Lighting beyond melanopic stimulation

Ir. Rémy C. Broersma and Dr. Ir. Marcel P. Lucassen, Scientists at Signify Research Eindhoven UVB radiation initiates vital processes in our body, one of which is the production of vitamin D in the skin. It is well known that over-exposure to the sun may bring a risk. Less well known is that the same is true for insufficient sun exposure due to our indoor lifestyle. In Part 1 of this article, we first describe the scientific understanding behind vitamin D. In Part 2 we describe how artificial light can be enriched with a safe, low dose of UVB, to supplement natural vitamin D production in the skin. Not too much, not too little.
