Often referred to as the "body clock", the circadian rhythm is a biological process that regulates many physiological processes, including telling our body when to sleep. Our environment—and light in particular—has a strong effect on our circadian rhythm, which in turn impacts our health. Aligning your body’s circadian rhythm with the natural environment is essential to promoting physical and mental health.
Lumen Impact’s Spectrally Enhanced Circadian Lighting ensures that the body receives the optimal spectral distribution of white light—at the right time of day, with the right intensity, and the right quality level. This creates an environment that mimics the sun’s changes in color throughout the day, leading to higher levels of health & performance.
“The installation of ‘human-centric’ lighting at the office of the property company CBRE has boosted productivity by 18 per cent… Additionally, work accuracy improved by 12 per cent, 76 per cent of employees reported feeling happier and half felt healthier.”
The color of sunlight changes throughout the day.
Circadian lighting is based on the science that light can be used to promote better health by minimizing the impact of electric light on sleep. Scientists have discovered that light at night, especially blue wavelength light, has a negative impact on our bodies production of melatonin which is an essential hormone for promoting sleep.
Obesity and diabetes
Cardio-vascular disease
Breast and prostate cancer
Sleep disorders
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Anxiety and depression
Stress and smoking
Sepsis or cyanosis
Furthermore, recent clinical studies have demonstrated that violet–blue light, particularly 405 nm light, has significant antimicrobial properties against a wide range of bacterial and fungal pathogens and, although germicidal efficacy is lower than UV light, this limitation is offset by its facility for safe, continuous use in occupied and unoccupied environments. As a supplement to standard cleaning practices, violet-blue light is an effective anti-bacterial and anti-fungal against a wide variety of bacterial and fungal pathogens including but not limited to following:
Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA)
Clostridium perfringens (food poisoning)
Clostridium difficile (HAI – contagious diarrhea)
Staphylococcus Epidermis (skin infection)
Enterococcus faecalis (HAI –strain of strep)
Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A strep)
Listeria monocytogenes (food poisioning)
Acinetobacter baumannii (HAI - blood, UTI and lung infections
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (HAI – blood and lung infection)
Proteus vulgaris (urinary tract infection)
Escherichia coli (food poisoning)
Salmonella enteritidis & typhimurium (food poisoning)
Shigella sonnei (bloody diarrhea)
Serratia marcescens (HAI – wound, uti, kidney)
Aspergillus niger (mold)
Candida albicans (yeast infection)
““There are certain wavelengths in the blue part of the spectrum that boost alertness, performance, and mood during the daytime hours, but during the nighttime hours they disrupt circadian clocks and now have been shown through hundreds of research studies to cause a 65% increase in breast cancer, a 37% increase in diabetes, a substantial increase in cardiovascular disease, an increase in prostate cancer, and a variety of medical problems.”
Every organization needs an edge. Lumen Impact’s Spectrally Enhanced Circadian Lighting can create a competitive advantage for your organization by further minimizing energy cost while boosting the productivity, health, and well-being of your tenants, patients, students, and staff.
Reduce your lighting energy cost by up to 80%
Create continuing stimulus to your staff leading to increased productivity, decreased errors & re-work, lower medical costs, and reduced staffing costs
Provide students and teachers a more conducive environment for learning by raising student achievement, attentiveness, cognition, and comprehension—while lowering behavioral issues
“Lockheed saved $500,000 per year in energy costs during a lighting upgrade in an engineering and development facility. The upgrade, however, also resulted in a 15 percent increase in productivity and a 15 percent decrease in absenteeism.”
Systems within the human eye and brain sense changes in the light’s spectral composition and intensity. The eye sends signals to the brain to trigger the release of serotonin (the body’s natural antidepressant) during the day and melatonin (a hormone affecting sleep) at night.
“Light is the most important environmental input, after food and water, in controlling bodily functions.”
Whether you are a business, government, learning institution, or healthcare provider, Lumen Impact’s Spectrally Enhanced Circadian Lighting can have a profound impact on your mission. Consider the following results documented by numerous clinical research and industry case studies:
Increased worker productivity by up to 19%
Decreased sick days and absenteeism by 1% & accidents by 2%
Cognitive student performance improvement of up to 15%
Reduction in healthcare & education costs due to less ADHD effects
Increase in teacher and staff retention by over 2 years
0.5% increased capacity utilization due to fewer accidents and better well-being of patients (higher attractiveness for new patients)
1% increase in staff capacity utilization due to reduced medication levels
Increased recognition of cyanosis and underlying conditions
Decreased treatment costs by 0.25% due to reduced treatment times
Decreased medication costs by 0.25% due to higher drug efficacy
Reduction in sick days (nurses) by 1% due to better well-being
Increased staff retention by 1 to 2 years
“High-Benefit Lighting at the San Diego Federal Building and Courthouse, productivity improved 3% in office areas and 15% in the courthouse, prison, and Post Office spaces. With a total of 1,800 employees at an average wage (including benefits) of $24,000 per year, the 3 % productivity improvement saves the federal government $1,296,000 per year in the Federal Building alone.”
