The Effect of Light
Light not only helps us see better, but it can also assist us feel better and be healthier. Imagine if light could affect how we feel and even how healthy we are. That's exactly what Human Centric Lighting (HCL) does. HCL is a type of light made for us humans.
With the right lighting in the morning, our bodies are able to produce serotonin, a hormone often labeled the "happy hormone," which helps to improve our mood. In addition, appropriate light, especially daylight, can positively influence our circadian rhythm, making us feel more energetic and generally in a better mood.
Exposure to natural light during the day helps regulate our circadian rhythm, which promotes good quality sleep. On the other hand, avoiding blue light from screens before bedtime can help our bodies produce melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, making it easier for us to fall asleep and stay asleep through the night.
The right light, especially bright light in the morning, stimulates the production of cortisol, a hormone that helps us feel awake and energetic. In addition, bright light can positively influence our circadian rhythm, leading to an overall feeling of alertness and energy during the day.
Bright and well-aimed light can improve visual clarity and reduce eye strain, which helps maintain concentration for longer periods of time. Furthermore, exposure to blue light, which is often found in daylight, can improve cognitive performance and attention, which improves the ability to concentrate.
