Planning lighting for the bedroom and rest area: comfort and circadian rhythm

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

What function do the luminaires serve?

Figured it out?

Directional reading light brings on a sense of relaxation.

Discreet orientation lighting provides safety at night.

In the morning, gradually increasing light helps you wake up and supports your circadian rhythm—including during longer stays in bed, such as through illness.

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

Control your light—once and for all!

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

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