Light scenes – an interactive work tool in agile office environments

Creative

The “creative” lighting concept creates a relaxed and cosy atmosphere. Imitating how our ancestors once sat around the fire in the evenings, telling stories and exchanging ideas, this reduced reddish light stimulates a sense of community and promotes creativity. It is modelled on the principles of biophilic design (from bios = life and philia = love), using nature as its inspiration.

Activate

The “activate” lighting concept supports people in their working environment in terms of productivity and concentration. During the day, it can be difficult to concentrate at particular times, e.g. at midday or after lunch. Natural light counteracts this slump with a very high blue content during the middle of the day. Artificial light with a high colour temperature imitates sunlight by suppressing the production of melatonin. This not only increases concentration and productivity but also helps avoid accidents at work.

Relax

The natural evening light with its high red content helps people to relax once they stop working. The body can now produce melatonin again, to prepare itself for a restful night’s sleep. The “relax” lighting concept is intended to have a reduced effect on the biological system, with low illuminances and minimal blue content. The body calms down and is able to relax. This light setting is also ideal for mindfulness breaks, and can be set automatically or manually.
 

Circadian

The targeted use of biologically active lighting concepts stabilises the body clock and improves sleep. It increases the ability to cope with stress, has a relaxing effect and demonstrably improves the mental and emotional health of employees in the workplace. We call it “Active Light” – a holistic planning approach that focuses on people’s health. A specific composition of the visual, emotional and biological effects of daylight and artificial light improves comfort, balance and health over the long term.

Human Centric Lighting with Tunable White

Standard

The standard scene ensures standard-compliant light, in the absence of any specific requirements for the visual task at hand. It can also be used to support the concept of diverging thinking. Different sensory impressions, evoked or encouraged by different light scenes, with the standard light scene as a neutral facilitator, lead to new ideas and thus promote creativity.

Emergency lighting

A functioning emergency escape lighting system isn’t just required by law. It communicates a sense of responsibility towards employees, the property and the environment. Here, true quality proves itself in an emergency and in everyday life too, thanks to reliable functional safety and the ability to be integrated into the building’s design.
