DAYLIGHT – A NATURAL REGULATOR Human activity functions according to a rhythm determined by nature. Since dawn, we use daylight in our daily activities – work, studying, and entertainment. We rest when daylight goes away, regenerating during the nighttime. This is the circadian rhythm, during which we spend about 16 hours being active, and the remaining 8 hours resting. This is a rhythm that has been forced upon us by evolution. This daily activity pattern is determined not only by practicality. Scientific studies prove that a dependency of a chemical nature also exists. Light not only...

The retina has three photoreceptors: rods, cones, and the third ipRGC photoreceptor which is sensitive to blue light in a narrow wavelength. This ”third” photoreceptor is responsible for regulating the circadian cycle. Only after about 90 minutes of exposure to light, the process of the release of melatonin, called the sleep hormone, is stopped. The problem of circadian rhythm irregularities occurs most in places where access to daylight is limited. Visible light affects diverse physiological functions. The blue wavelength of light has melatonin suppression characteristics. Human eye...

HUMAN CENTRIC LIGHTING Since light is a potent regulator of the human circadian rhythm, the goal of lighting design should also be to provide illumination for human photobiological response as well as vision. In order to minimize the effects of a disrupted circadian rhythm, ES-SYSTEM has expanded its product offer to include luminaires equipped with CIRCADIAN technology. 4000K white light has been enriched with blue and red beams with strictly defined wavelengths. Blue-enriched white light helps to improve alertness and boosts the reaction time only when you needed it. On the other hand,...

A NOBEL PRIZE FOR RESEARCH ON CIRCADIAN The Nobel prize for medicine and physiology in 2017 was awarded to Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash i Michael W. Young – scientists who contributed to explaining the molecular mechanism of the daily activity rhythm, i.e. the CIRCADIAN RHYTHM. Using well-known scientific discoveries and the possibilities offered by LED technology, ES-SYSTEM has enriched 4000K white light with blue and red beams of light with strictly defined wavelengths. Luminaires with the CIRCADIAN technology effectively regulate the circadian rhythm. THE HEALING POWER OF LIGHT The...

LUMINAIRES EQUIPPED WITH CIRCADIAN TECHNOLOGY ARE DEDICATED FOR USE IN LIGHTING DESIGN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CIRCADIAN RHYTHM Designing lighting in accordance with the circadian rhythm is a fundamentally different process than standard lighting design. The traditional approach is mainly focused on visibility, minimizing glare and shadows, providing appropriate color rendering and safety. When designing lighting in line with the concept of Human Centric Lighting, it is important to consider the light intensity, spectrum and exposure time. If the light emitted by the luminaire is meant to...

LUMINAIRES EQUIPPED WITH CIRCADIAN TECHNOLOGY LUNA emitting light all over its surface, LUNA offers unlimited arrangement possibilities. Thanks to a diffuser made of thermoelastic foil, this product can be given any shape you can imagine, lending any interior a unique character. a system of wall- or ceiling-mounted luminaires reminiscent of clouds in the sky. Perfect for the illumination of office spaces for creative work, children’s playrooms, sports facilities, as well as stores and shopping center corridors. The luminaires can be combined in groups, creating unique visual scenes....

We’ve used luminaires with CIRCADIAN technology in an impressive facility – the Sundvolden Convention The facility was equipped with 80 LUNA CIRCADIAN effectively aid concentration, improve the mood and alertness of conference and lecture participants. The Sundvolden Convention Center has an area of over 1200 m2. Center in Norway. The LUNA and linear S6000 systems are designed to emit light in a way that will most luminaires and over 200 meters of linear S6000 CIRCADIAN luminaires.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN LUMINAIRES WITH CIRCADIAN TECHNOLOGY Functional and modern lighting is determined by intelligent lighting control systems that allow for its flexible adaptation to the changing needs of its users. MOTION DETECTION Motion sensor technology provides light at the right time and place. Light switches on automatically when a person moves in the vicinity of the sensor and switches off when there is no movement in the detection area. The system is coordinated with a clock so that the spectrum of the emitted light is matched to the current time of day. MANUAL SCENE...

CIRCADIAN is a lighting technology that best imitates daylight. By enriching the LEDs with blue and red light beams, it suppresses or stimulates the secretion of the sleep hormone. It can give an energy boost or help fall asleep peacefully, supporting the natural human circadian rhythm.
