Horticutral Lighting
Artificial lights increase our visibility in the dark. It also plays an important role in ensuring our safety. Therefore, the lighting industry has made great efforts to fulfill our visual needs. But light has biological effects on human health and well-being. The constant and static artificial light disrupts the circadian rhythm, resulting in sleep disorders, depressed mood, and lower conductivity. Luckily, a solution called human-centric lighting can solve the problems effectively.
What is Human Centric Lighting?
Human Centric Lighting (HCL) is a new lighting concept from current years. HCL not only focuses on supportive illumination but also the human health and well-being. It hopes to bring the dynamics of natural daylight back into people's work and lives through artificial lighting. Since HCL supports the human circadian rhythm, it can enhance concentration and improve productivity. With tremendous benefits, Human Centric Lighting is utilized in a wide range of applications, such as commercial spaces, industrial facilities, homes, and offices.
How to certify Human-Centric Lighting solution?
CIE S 026 standard (CIE System for Metrology of Optical Radiation for ipRGC-Influenced Responses to Light) indicated how to quantify and assess the light and achieve its biological effects on human health, performance, and well-being, independent of visual images.
Units state UL Solutions released design guidelines in 2020 to help deliver human-centric lighting performance goals and help building owners consider circadian rhythms while seeking high-quality lighting. The UL 24480 standard is used to design lighting for buildings and is intended to provide circadian lighting for people who are normally active during the day and inactive at night. This is the first standard in the world till now.
Why do we need a Human Centric Lighting solution?
Human Centric Lighting goes beyond the basic visual needs of people. It contributes to higher-quality illumination and better performance. Our ancestors spent day time in the sun and their biological clocks synchronized to the 24-hour rhythm of the earth's ambient changes.
Until 200 years ago, people spent limited time outdoors during the day, and their exposure to natural daylight is less and less. To make matters worse, circadian rhythm can have significant impacts on your health. If your circadian rhythm is disrupted, then it can have negative effects on your health. AGC provides the HCL lighting solution that is 100% brightness adjustable and simultaneous tunable CCT 3000K to 5000K. This HCL lighting mimics the rhythm of natural night, which provides the right light at the right time, bringing the normal circadian rhythm. With the efficient HCL lighting solution from AGC, you can gain below benefits:

Improves SleepYou will sleep better!
When your body follows the sun’s natural pattern, it can improve your sleep quality by adjusting the hormone balance in your body. Then, you sleep better. |
Increases ProductivityYou will perform better!
AGC HCL can improve performance by enhancing your ability to concentrate and reducing fatigue, which can lessen 20% errors rate and increase 12% productivity. Therefore, Your business is thriving. |
Boosts MoodYou will feel better!
If you sleep better, you are more productive. You will also feel happier and more energetic. AGC human-centric lighting (HCL) stimulates the natural circadian rhythm, increasing your well-being and boosting your mood. |
How to get a Human Centric Lighting solution?
Tunable white light technology is designed to create ambiances, scenes, and moods that match people's natural circadian rhythms through variable color temperature control.
In most tunable white technology applications, color temperature from warm white to cool white is achieved by color mixing of two different CCT LED loads (e.g. 3000 K and 5000 K). The control inputs of these fixtures can be 0-10V, DMX, or DALI control. But now, the Tuya Bluetooth intelligent driver offers an easier and more convenient way to control.
Lighting fixtures can be controlled individually or in groups by the Tuya app on the phone. Simple and quick to realize turn on/off the light, as well as the brightness and color temperature adjustment (tunable from 3000k to 5000k ). What is most important, multiple scenes can be set regularly according to your needs. Each scene can be set with different color temperature and brightness.
