Infrared is starting to go mainstream
Big shoutout to the entire Inside Lighting team and Al Uszynski. I've been neck deep in this topic for a few years now thanks to Scott Zimmerman ground breaking paper "Melatonin: Both a Messenger of Darkness and a Participant in the Cellular Actions of Non-Visible Solar Radiation of Near Infrared Light" published in Biology. Nice to see the health benefits of infrared starting to bubble up to the mainstream. In particular I'd like to call out the following from the Inside Lighting post "Health vs. Energy Efficiency NIR wavelengths are invisible and considered unnecessary for illumination, which has led to their exclusion to reduce energy consumption. Yet, the study suggests that ambient NIR exposure may enhance mood and reduce stress, creating a potential tradeoff between energy efficiency and occupant well-being." As an industry we have to move on from "lumens per watt" as a meaningful metric. Energy efficiency is incumbent upon any good lighting design, nobody is looking to waste energy. But as we learn more and more about the health benefits of non-visual energy, we can't continue to use lumens as the meaningful metric when lumens are only visible light. Consider that infrared shows signs of health and wellness benefit yet every optical watt of infrared consumes some energy yet produces zero lumens, in essence killing any meaningful lumens per watt. I'll get off my soapbox now but it ain't easy. Sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode talking about this. Onward !

We can do a lot better than the current state of LEDs... imagine if we made our air the same way we make our light. Read our latest blog post click here ?? https://lnkd.in/eZ_rYCfe

https://wix.to/O1DKZuI Did you know that near infrared energy could potentially benefit individuals with Alzheimer's, concussions, traumatic brain injury, and more? ?? Let's spark a conversation about incorporating near infrared energy into indoor, LED lighting in our daily lives. #NIRtherapy #BrainHealth #InnovativeSolutions

It's been a long time in the works... in our never ending quest to mimic sunlight we finally introduce a daytime spectrum that not only closely matches the profile of the sun's visible spectrum, but also includes near infrared energy as well. All on a single LED chip ! We're turning Human-Centric and Circadian into Sun-Centric. Stay tuned, LOTS more coming.. sign up to be notified when the full fixture line is ready. Onward ! https://wix.to/HLninKa

Parkinson's IS a scary word. "Photobiomodulation" sounds like a scary word, but in reality, it's just treating our body with low energy, red and infrared light. A little more complicated but in simple terms it's like aiming a flashlight at different parts of our body. Simple, non-invasive and non-pharmacological. Its potential for improving life is incredible. https://wix.to/EWYbpN2
