Human centric lighting (HCL) is an approach to lighting design that focuses on the impact of light on human health, well-being, and performance. HCL takes into account the natural rhythms of the human body, including the circadian rhythm, and aims to create lighting environments that support these rhythms and promote health and well-being.
HCL typically involves the use of LED lighting technology and control systems that allow for dynamic adjustment of lighting levels and color temperature. The color temperature of the light is adjusted throughout the day to mimic the natural progression of daylight, starting with cool white light in the morning and gradually transitioning to warm white light in the evening.
HCL can have a range of benefits for human health and well-being, including improved mood, increased alertness, and better sleep quality. It has been shown to be particularly effective in settings such as healthcare facilities, schools, and office environments, where the quality of lighting can have a significant impact on productivity and well-being.
Human centric lighting is an innovative approach to lighting design that can have significant benefits for human health and well-being. By taking into account the natural rhythms of the human body and using dynamic lighting technology, HCL can create lighting environments that support health, productivity, and well-being.
