As the concept of a workspace advances, more people are recognising the importance of health and well-being within an office setting. Human centric lighting (HCL) examines the effects of lighting on the human body’s natural circadian rhythm. It can enhance our well-being, productivity, mood and comfort in a working environment. Our circadian rhythm is our body’s natural clock that regulates our daily sleep-wake routine. This is greatly influenced by the amount of light reaching our eyes.
In recent years, we have become accustomed to spending most of our time indoors. As a result of this lifestyle change, we typically spend less time in natural light, which impacts our circadian rhythms. Office workers can be working under the same conditions without any reference to what time of the day it is. One of the advantages of human centric lighting is how it can emulate natural lighting to align with the circadian rhythms of the occupants using the space. By incorporating dynamic human centric lighting solutions into your workplace setting, you are able to customise the lighting to your specific needs throughout the day.
