“Creating functional yet comfortable spaces is pivotal for increasing the health and wellbeing of those who use them.”
The invention of artificial light has fundamentally changed how we live. Today, it’s increasingly common to spend significant time indoors, often in environments lacking natural light—basements, windowless rooms, or workplaces illuminated artificially late into the night. Given that we spend the majority of our lives indoors, understanding the profound influence of lighting on our mental health and overall wellbeing is crucial. Hence, Human Centric Lighting.
“Designing with light for activity, architecture and atmosphere”
The Rise of Human-Centric Lighting
Emerging light technologies, leveraging data and focusing on light’s impact on people, are rapidly evolving. Human-Centric Lighting (HCL) represents a holistic approach to understanding and applying the effects of light on human beings. While some HCL solutions focus on mimicking the color temperature of natural light, transitioning from warm to cool throughout the day, truly effective HCL goes far beyond this. Many providers struggle to offer comprehensive, location- and time-synchronized solutions, and the market is still developing in this area.
Beyond Technology: A Holistic Approach
With over a decade of experience working with light, we firmly believe that HCL transcends mere technology and encompasses holistic light planning. Light’s purpose is to serve people, support their tasks, and enhance their environment. This is the essence of human-centric lighting—placing people at the core of the design process. This approach considers light application, tool selection, technical parameters, and, most importantly, human comfort in a unified framework. Creating functional yet comfortable spaces is pivotal for increasing the health and wellbeing of those who use them. Studies have demonstrated the positive impact of well-designed lighting on happiness in healthcare facilities, increased productivity in offices, and fostering healthy engagement in urban spaces.
