In today’s world, where work environments are becoming increasingly dynamic & demanding, the role of lighting extends far beyond its basic function of providing visibility. It has become an essential factor in creating an environment that supports the well-being, productivity & overall health of employees. GreatWhite's human-centric lighting solutions are designed with this understanding at their core. They are tailored to not just brighten up a room, but to also promote optimal physical & mental health & improve focus throughout the workday.
The Role of Lighting in Human Wellness
Most people are unaware of the significant impact that lighting can have on our biology, specifically on the hormones that regulate our daily moods & energy levels. GreatWhite’s human-centric lighting is designed to address these physiological needs by using advanced technologies that control the intensity, color & temperature of the light, all of which can influence the body’s internal systems.
Hormone Wellness & Lighting: The Science Behind It
You might not realize it, but the lighting around you can directly impact your body's production of two key hormones: cortisol & melatonin.
- Cortisol is known as the stress hormone. It plays a crucial role in your body's ability to stay alert & focused, especially in the morning. However, too much cortisol, often triggered by the wrong lighting at the wrong time, can lead to feelings of anxiety & increased stress, reducing your ability to concentrate effectively.
- Melatonin, on the other hand, is the hormone that regulates your sleep & waking up cycle. It’s produced naturally in low-light environments to help you wind down & prepare for sleep. However, exposure to bright or blue light, particularly in the evening or nighttime, can suppress melatonin, making it harder for you to relax or fall asleep
Our Biological Effective Lighting (BEL) is specifically designed to tackle these issues by mimicking natural daylight patterns. Our lighting solutions are carefully calibrated to provide the right intensity & color temperature at the right time of day, in a way that promotes better focus & productivity during work hours & helps you wind down during the evening.
For example, in the morning, your lighting will simulate natural sunlight, stimulating the production of cortisol & helping you feel alert & ready to take on the day. As the day progresses, the lighting will gradually shift to a warmer, softer tone that supports the production of melatonin, aiding in relaxation & preparing the body for rest. The result? Employees experience less stress & fatigue, improved sleep quality & ultimately, a more energized & focused workforce.
Mood Lighting: Emotional Effective Lighting (EEL)
Another powerful aspect of GreatWhite's human-centric lighting solutions is our Emotional Effective Lighting (EEL), which adjusts the ambience of a room to influence the emotional state of its occupants. This form of lighting is particularly useful in workspaces that require a high degree of adaptability, such as offices, meeting rooms or collaborative areas. EEL can shift based on the nature of the task or activity taking place, whether that’s a high-energy brainstorming session or a calm, quiet period of focus.
The Future of Workspace Lighting: A Necessity, Not a Luxury
