Tunable Lighting: Circadian Rhythms

Circadian, or “tunable,” lighting helps users feel better throughout their day. It mimics natural sunlight and it changes over the course of the day to help align your rhythms. The system automatically and gradually adjusts color temperature to match the progression of the sun.

Color temperature is heat the light uses, and the way it slightly changes hue. The naming conventions are somewhat counter-intuitive. Cooler, blue coloring indicates hotter temperatures. Warmer, yellowish tones, on the other hand, represent less heat.

Like daylight, tunable systems gradually raise and lower the color temperature throughout the day. You’ll hardly notice the difference, but daytime light will help with activity, while nighttime light will encourage restfulness. Ultimately, you’ll stay fresh and feel better throughout the day.
