Iserlohn, November 22, 2018: Intelligent light assists humans in whatever they are doing by providing the best possible conditions for seeing as well as possible. This is achieved by adapting light to every user’s individual needs. LUCTRA® lamps reproduce natural daylight almost perfectly. For example, LEDs can produce different light colours, ranging from cold white to warm white. What’s more, LUCTRA® lamps are also dimmable. In this way, LUCTRA® helps people concentrate as well as relax and increases their wellbeing at work. This makes people happier and more efficient. Of particular benefit is the simple operation of the lamps, either via the touch surface on the lamp or via the app which automatically transfers the desired lighting sequence to the lamp in question.
Good light does not just make things light or dark
Light has a considerable impact on the human organism. In the open air, at home or in the workplace: Light is just as important for your health as a balanced diet, regular exercise and enough sleep. The inner clock – or the typical rhythm of sleeping and waking – is a daily routine that has been learned over a number of centuries, and it is controlled by natural light. In order to maintain this steady rhythm, regular impulses from sunlight are needed. Nowadays, our jobs frequently require us to work in enclosed spaces. The required impulses sometimes do not reach us. Biologically effective lamps, such as those of LUCTRA®, can fulfil this function. By changing from cold white light (in the morning, with approx. 2700 Kelvin) to warm white light (in the evening, approx. 6500 Kelvin), they can stimulate the production of hormones in the body that are important for the inner clock. The effectiveness of LUCTRA®’s workplace lamps has already been confirmed in a study. Warm white light supports, among other things, the formation of the hormone melatonin, which gives the body the natural tired feeling in the evening and ensures a deep and healthy sleep.
Correctly packaged light
Technically speaking, selecting a sustainable lamp is important – one which is easy to operate, energy efficient and recyclable and is guaranteed to last at least five years. When choosing the design, it makes most sense to go for an unpretentious and timeless look. The lamp is then suitable for every environment and can easily be placed somewhere else if required. For health reasons, it is advisable to choose a biologically effective lamp. It is capable of supporting the user’s personal rhythm and creates an improved sense of wellbeing.
