Fine-Tune Your Circadian Rhythm
A circadian rhythm is an inherent, natural process that occurs within your body. It helps you feel energized as the sun rises and eases you into a peaceful state of mind as the sun sets. If you spend a considerable amount of time indoors, as many of us do, your circadian rhythm is affected. You may be left feeling lethargic in the middle of the day or wired at the end of the day when you try to go to sleep, and a lot of these issues are due to poor lighting.
Tunable white and RGBW LED lights can help you solve this issue by mimicking natural sunlight in your indoor spaces. You’ll have the power of lighting at your fingertips, controlling white outputs and color temperature levels with the tap of a finger or according to a preset schedule.
When paired with an automation system like Control4, tunable lights can improve your circadian rhythms automatically, as well as improve blood pressure, melatonin secretion, alertness, coordination levels, cardiovascular efficiency, and muscle strength. Imagine having your home help you improve your health! It’s possible with tunable lighting.
Cool White Daytime Light
Unlike traditional alternatives, RGBW lights give you a seemingly endless spectrum of various white hues, from cool to warm, that are ideal for everything you do indoors. Lighting with a cool, white color temperature is associated with an increase in appetite, body temperature, heart rate, and cognitive function. But what about those times when we are looking for rest?
Warm White Nighttime Light
When set to warmer color temperatures, tunable RGBW lights can ease you into a relaxed, more peaceful state of mind. It’s perfect for nighttime and can help you achieve a better night’s rest.
The effects of warm white light on your body include elevated melatonin levels, a decreased heart rate, and lighting conditions ideal for resting and healing. Brands like DMF engineer and design Warm Dim technologies focused on full-spectrum, comfortable illumination. Despite being indoors, you can bring the rejuvenating effects of natural light into your living spaces with a tunable lighting integration.
