Warm, inviting light to get you on your way…

Crisp, bright light to choose the right path…

Intimate, relaxing light to welcome the night…

Refreshing midday break in bright sunlight. Human-centric lighting Morning run at the golden hour. What is human-centric lighting? Winding down the day at sunset. Anyone that has ever watched a sun rise would be able to tell you the impact light has on their mood. But lately, science has started to back that up, showing how light can impact behavior, alertness, sleep patterns, and even our perception of the world. When designed in the right way, light can improve concentration and efficiency in the workplace or schools; promote well-being and recovery in hospitals and clinics; and signal...

What is color temperature? Correlated color temperature (CCT) is the relative color appearance of a white light source. Does it appear warm and golden, cool and bluish or a shade in between? Adjusting the color temperature of your light source can completely change the look and mood of a space: Cooler color temperatures offer a bluer white light, helping to create brighter, more energetic spaces. Warmer color temperatures impart a more golden light, creating a warmer, friendlier ambience. CCT and Dynamic Lighting Fundamentals

How do I select the right color temperature? Whole spectrum When selecting the right color temperature, consider two factors: 1. What material are you lighting? 2. What atmosphere are you seeking to create? The color temperature you select should complement the materials in the space you are lighting. Blues, silvers and metallic colors, for example, are often best matched with cooler color temperatures. Woods, golds and reds, meanwhile, respond well to warmer color temperatures. Whether you’re trying to create a sense of intimacy in a restaurant or aiming to increase alertness in a...

Color temperature in the material world Warm White Intensifies warm surface colors (e.g. red) and impairs colder surface colors (like bluish surfaces). Cool White Impairs warm sufrace colors (e.g. red) and intensifies colors on cooler surfaces (bluish surfaces). Does color temperature affect the appearance of clothing? A bowl of apples? A heritage red-brick facade? The answer is yes. Bringing out the best in the materials that make up your space requires the right choice of color temperature.

Use cooler color temperatures to simulate daylight and increase alertness during the day. Cooler color temperatures are preferred for activities requiring concentration. La Presse, Montreal, QC, Canada Lighting Design: JBC Architects, Architecture 49

Warmer color temperatures create a place of calm and reflection. Warm white light signals a time to relax and feel comfortable. Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Winnipeg, MB, Canada Lighting Design: Mulvey+Banani International Inc.

Enhance the color of specific materials using the appropriate color temperature. Sandstone 3000K Customs House, Montreal, QC, Canada Lighting Design: Éclairage Public

Use warm light to bring important elements to the fore. Contrast warmer elements against a cooler background to bring them sharply into focus. Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal, Montreal, QC, Canada Lighting Design: Éclairage Public

Dynamic White What is Dynamic White? Thanks to the flexibility of LED technology, projects no longer have to settle for a single unchanging 4000K color temperature. With tuneable white, you can vary color temperatures over the course of a day, creating different moods or ambiences. You now have the freedom to set a classroom’s CCT to 5500K during tests, 4000K for classroom discussions, and 3000K after lunch breaks and recess. Dynamic Warm CCT and Dynamic Lighting Fundamentals

Two solutions for Dynamic White Lumenpulse offers two separate tuneable white systems, allowing you to change the character of a space using variable color temperature. 1. Dynamic White encompasses a full range of color temperatures from warm 2700K to cool 6500K. Dynamic Warm allows variations at the warmer end of the spectrum from 2200K to 3000K.

Dim to warm control 100% Intensity Lumenpulse’s Dim to Warm is offered as part of the Dynamic Warm color option. The technology reduces a luminaire’s color temperature when dimmed, allowing 50% Intensity for natural dimming of warm white light (from 2700K to 2200K). Dim to Warm was designed to replicate the familiar, natural feeling of dimmed incandescent, while still providing modern LED efficiency and versatility.

Circadian rhy thm Human circadian clocks are set by light, and timing, as they say, is everything. Our circadian rhythm is hardwired with the light cycle of the solar day, which means exposure to cool bright light at the wrong time can have a disruptive effect. By adjusting light intensity and color temperature over the course of the day, we can simulate the drama and variety of natural light. Easy scene set ting Color temperature When it comes to smart, modern lighting, flexibility is king. By allowing easy scene setting, dynamic lighting provides much needed versatility, allowing the...
