Innovation in lighting: the future is here!
Lighting innovation promises to transform the way we light our homes, offices, hospitals, and cities. From energy-efficient LED lights to smart lighting systems that automatically adapt to changes in daylight: the future of lighting is here.
In this edition, we'll explore how innovations in the human-centered lighting industry will improve our quality of life.
We attended Euroluce 2023
Adrià Huguet-Ferran Ph.D., our CTO, recently participated in Euroluce, one of the most important lighting exhibitions in the world. Held biennially in Milan, this event provides a venue for lighting manufacturers and designers from around the world to showcase their latest products and highlight the latest lighting trends.
Circadian lighting for hospitals
Discover how circadian lighting can mimic natural sunlight to improve patient mood, speed up their recovery or increase the alertness of medical staff. It can automatically adjust the amount of light used in different areas of the hospital based on the time of day, saving energy and improving efficiency.
The right lighting at the right time. What does this mean?
The right lighting at the right time means having to mimic natural changes in sunlight throughout the day. For example, warm lighting at night prepares the body for sleep, while cooler lighting in the morning stimulates alertness and physical activity.
Can circadian lighting help overcome jet lag?
Jet lag is a temporary sleep disorder that affects many people who travel across different time zones, which can disrupt their circadian rhythm and cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, difficulty sleeping at night, and other unpleasant symptoms.
Is there anything that circadian lighting can do to avoid jet lag?
KUMUX Simulator of Circadian Lighting
KUMUX Simulator allows you to create a virtual circadian lighting system according to your specific needs. You can visualize the user experience of KUMUX circadian lighting and the benefits for users in your project. All without any technical skills or advanced knowledge to use it.
Could lack of sleep increase your risk of prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer is a common and serious health concern among men. While age, race, and family history are known risk factors, recent research suggests that disruptions to the circadian rhythm may also play a role in the development of prostate cancer.
Is it possible to save energy with circadian lighting?
New research has shown that the implementation of circadian technology in lighting systems could lead to significant energy savings.
By 2030, the use of circadian lighting technology could save between 20 and 29 TWh per year, and by 2050, it could save between 48 and 56 TWh per year. The energy saved through this approach would be equivalent to Portugal's current electricity consumption.
Innovation in lighting is a value that drives us!
We are dedicated to developing artificial lighting solutions that positively impact people's lives. Since our origins in scientific research, we have been working hard to achieve this goal and innovation is our main tool to achieve it.
70% of workers suffer from visual fatigue. Are you one of them?
Adequate lighting can reduce the effects of eyestrain such as headaches, dry eyes, red eyes, blurred vision, and neck and back pain. Additionally, eyestrain can negatively affect concentration, productivity, and overall health. Read how circadian lighting can help to reduce these symptoms.
