Bring daylight indoors

Humans have evolved over thousands of years, spending most of their time outdoors until the most recent generations.

In the modern, world people spend most of their awake time indoors with less exposure to natural daylight. Standard indoor lighting does not always meet our biological ligth exposure needs. Biocentric lighting brings daylight indoors to improve human health and wellbeing.

The background is plain and light grey, emphasising the focus on the smartphone and the app interface.

Reclaim your natural rhythm

Due to our modern lifestyle, we seldom wake up and go to sleep in accordance with sunrise and sunset.

Humans feel and perform at their best when they are as closely aligned with the natural rhythm of the day.

Energising employees

Lighting in office environments has traditionally focused on ergonomics and visual function, but light does not merely support our vision.

In an environment with mimicked daylight, employees feel better, their concentration increase, finding it easier to focus on tasks1,2. Proper lighting ergonomics reduce tension in the eyes, neck, and shoulders, and have been shown to reduce headaches3.

Benefits of Biocentric lighting:

  • Increases job satisfaction and productivity
  • Lowers stress levels and improved wellbeing
  • Leads to less tiredness and fewer errors
  • Increases accuracy
  • Prevents the ”post-lunch dip”

Benefits of Biocentric lighting:

  • Promotes patient recovery
  • Reduces the number of falling incidents
  • Reduces depression in dementia
