Planning lighting for bedrooms and rest areas: comfort and the circadian rhythm

Plan your bedroom the way you would like to find your hotel room.

What function do the luminaires serve?

Figured it out?

Directed reading light brings a growing sense of relaxation.

Subtle orientation light provides safety at night.

In the morning, gradually increasing light helps you wake up and supports the circadian rhythm — even during longer stays, such as an illness.

Consider a lighting control system. Bright light helps you as you get dressed and tidy up.

Set up your lighting control once!

With a lighting control app, your smartphone becomes the operating and programming device for the installation.

In the morning, increasing light supports the start into the day. During the day, artificial light supplements natural light whenever the sky is overcast. In the evening, dimmed, warm light creates a sense of calm. At night, a subtle orientation light provides safety without disturbing sleep unnecessarily.
