by Shane Henson — January 22, 2014—Lighting Science, a provider of biologically attuned lighting, recently announced that it is set to release three lighting products that can be controlled via Bluetooth-powered mobile apps to optimize efficient illumination.
The Revelation Spot was developed for retail environments where showing products in the right light is critical to the customer experience. The product’s intelligent design allows it to understand its spectral environment and then optimize the output of the color spectrum, tuning the light to increase the vibrancy of the object.
The Rhythm Downlight features a companion mobile app that prompts the user to answer questions about his or her schedule, lifestyle and habits. The light then sets user experience based on the answers to the questionnaire. For example, at times that the user needs to begin preparing for sleep, the light will emit less “blue” light, which hampers the production of melatonin. Whether you are an early riser or a night owl, the lights will adjust to your specific rhythm rather than the sun’s cycle.
Lighting Science is also launching a commercial troffer combining both of the above technologies in a commercial ceiling fixture. The fixture can be used in office buildings for greater productivity, in healthcare institutions for patient wellness, or in hospitality facilities for an optimized guest experience.
“We’ve entered the era of intelligent lighting,” said Sean Tegart, vice president at Lighting Science. “Developed to help regulate the circadian rhythms of NASA astronauts, our intelligent, dynamic lighting products harness the science behind lighting to improve health and increase workplace effectiveness and overall personal health. We’re thrilled to add these exciting new products to our line of biologically corrected lighting solutions.”
