Bring daylight indoors

Humans have evolved over thousands of years, spending most of their time outdoors until the most recent generations.

In the modern, world people spend most of their awake time indoors with less exposure to natural daylight. Standard indoor lighting does not always meet our biological light exposure needs. Biocentric lighting brings daylight indoors to improve human health and wellbeing.

The screen shows a circular power button with options to adjust settings, and below it are buttons labeled "Relax," "AutoLit," and "Boost." The background is plain and light grey, emphasising the focus on the smartphone and the app interface.

Reclaim your natural rhythm

Due to our modern lifestyle, we seldom wake up and go to sleep in accordance with sunrise and sunset.

Humans feel and perform at their best when they are as closely aligned with the natural rhythm of the day.

Right light at the right time

BrainLit’s Biocentric lighting environments are unique and tailor-made. When using BrainLit’s solutions you will have the possibility to adapt light for different environments and activities.

Different situations may require a special type of light to help us feel alert or relaxed.

The room features a large whiteboard on the wall, a potted plant for decoration, and bright overhead lighting. The ceiling features acoustic panels and biocentric lighting.

Energising employees

Lighting in office environments has traditionally focused on ergonomics and visual function, but light does not merely support our vision.

In an environment with mimicked daylight, employees feel better, their concentration increase, finding it easier to focus on tasks1,2. Proper lighting ergonomics reduce tension in the eyes, neck, and shoulders, and have been shown to reduce headaches3.

Benefits of Biocentric lighting:

  • Increases job satisfaction and productivity
  • Lowers stress levels and improved wellbeing
  • Leads to less tiredness and fewer errors
  • Increases accuracy
  • Prevents the ”post-lunch dip”

 

“During the morning and office hours, I was more energetic and productive. During the nights, I was getting more sound and restful sleep.”

Daylight promotes health

In many healthcare settings, access to daylight is limited. Biocentric lighting is designed to deliver the right amount of circadian stimulus at the right time of day, helping the elderly to sleep better, patients to recover faster, and staff to perform better.

Benefits of Biocentric lighting:

  • Promotes patient recovery
  • Reduces the number of falling incidents
  • Reduces depression in dementia
  • Improves shift work
