Based on technology developed in collaboration with NASA to support the natural circadian rhythms of astronauts living onboard on the International Space Station, the Good Day&Night solution enables users to easily change between focus-enhancing and sleep-enhancing spectrums. The luminaire is controlled via a standard wall switch, or by a wireless switch accessory. Mounting kits are available for retrofit and new construction, providing living spaces with energy-efficient, circadian lighting for both day and night in any area of your home or workplace in a sleek, functional design.

“The new Good Day&Night Downlight delivers on the company's promise to engineer lighting solutions that provide peak visual performance and biological benefits,” Khim Lee, President, Lighting Science said. “Our human-centric lighting portfolio is leading the global shift in how lighting is applied in residential and commercial applications – our new products are at the forefront of the circadian lighting revolution.”

The first commercial installation of the Good Day&Night Downlight will be in New York City at Manhattan’s new luxury condominium development, Gramercy Square. Partnering with MNDFL, New York City’s premier mediation studio, the team worked collaboratively to create special wellness-focused amenity spaces. The downlight will be installed in the meditation room, and in several shared areas, offering residents healthy, biologically-balanced light.

“At Gramercy Square, integrated wellness is supported through a multi-dimensional approach to programming and meaningfully considered sensory experiences in our homes, gardens and amenities,” David Bistricer of Clipper Equity said. “The partnership with Lighting Science naturally aligns with our mission to contribute living innovation inspired by nature, connectivity and a healthy environment. We are proud to be among the first luxury condominiums to fully incorporate their Good Day&Night Downlights – let there be light!

The Good Day&Night Downlight is available for purchase July 11, 2018 at https://www.lsgc.com/collections/biological/products/good-day-night-led-downlight. For additional information on LSG's technologies and products, please visit www.lsgc.com

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.
