KUMUX and K-array Transform Spaces with Well-being-centred Technology

Traditional artificial lighting does not always meet people's biological needs. Aware of this, KUMUX has developed software based on artificial intelligence that adapts lighting to circadian rhythms, providing a more natural and health-beneficial lighting experience. When integrated with RAIL by K-array, an innovative architectural line that combines light and sound in a single product, a multisensory environment enhances comfort, creativity, and workplace performance in a convergence of design.

“In a world where we spend most of our time indoors under static lighting, the incorporation of KUMUX into RAIL by K-array allows workspaces to align with natural light rhythms, promoting wellbeing, mood, and productivity,” explains Adria Huguet, CTO of KUMUX. “This collaboration is the perfect combination of lighting, intelligent control, and science, offering a solution that reconnects people with the light cycles they truly need.”

RAIL by K-array, with its sleek design and ability to integrate professional sound and personalised lighting, has been the choice for innovative international projects such as the office renovations of Pavion, JLL, and Armstrong Ceilings, as well as the redefinition of modern workspaces led by TAD Associates. Due to the incorporation of KUMUX technology, this system now optimises the auditory and aesthetic experience of spaces and contributes to the health and well-being of its occupants.

With the rise of certifications such as WELL Building Standard and the growing recognition of the influence of light and sound on human behaviour, this alliance between KUMUX and K-array represents a crucial step towards creating the indoor spaces of the future.

“Our mission is to facilitate the implementation of intelligent solutions that improve people's daily lives in their workplaces. With RAIL, we offer unprecedented integration of audio and circadian lighting, ensuring healthier and more productive environments with ease,” concludes Huguet.

This collaboration reaffirms KUMUX and K-array’s commitment to innovation and the design of spaces that prioritise human well-being. With technologies that mimic natural light and enrich the sound environment, the building of the future is now a tangible and accessible reality.

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.
