What is Human Centric Lighting: Benefits & Applications

Human centric lighting (HCL) is a kind of illuminated way based on human physical and psychological needs. Its core goal is to imitate the changes in natural light to support the body’s circadian rhythm, improve visual comfort, and enhance mood. The key element of human centric lighting contains dynamic ​color temperature adjustment, adjustable brightness, spectrum optimization, and intelligent control. You can adjust the brightness based on what you’re doing, so the lighting is never too harsh or too dim. Thanks to LED technology, the light can be fine-tuned to cut down on harmful blue light, especially at night. It also boosts calming tones like red light. With the help of sensors and smart systems, human centric lighting can even adjust itself automatically throughout the day to match the time and your needs.
