THE RIGHT LIGHT AT THE RIGHT TIME
There is more to light than meets the eye — a lot more, in fact. While light enables us to see our world in vivid color and stunning detail, we have learned that light also regulates the ‘internal clock’ in our bodies that governs our circadian rhythms that makes us alert during the day and sleepy at night.

DISRUPTION OF OUR
CIRCADIAN SYSTEM
Industrialized society spends most of its time indoors, within a built environment that can provide for our every need – but the electric lighting we are working and living under does not match the dynamic quality and timing of the natural light that humans evolved under. This mismatch, between our internal clock and the local time disrupts our circadian system.

LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF A
DISRUPTED CIRCADIAN SYSTEM
A disrupted circadian system is connected to long-term health and behavioral problems. Fatigue, cancer, obesity, diabetes, depression, mood and sleep disorders, reduced physical and mental performance, reduced productivity and irritability are all related in some shape or form to a circadian system that isn’t functioning the way it’s supposed to.

THE COLOR, AMOUNT AND TIMING
OF LIGHT IS EVERYTHING
Daylight provides bright, blue-rich light in the early morning to deliver an alerting signal as we wake up – but exposure to the same light at night can keep you up at night and throw off your game the next day. In the early evening, the setting sun provides a warm, low-level light to cue our bodies for a period of rest.
