Enhance Your Family’s Well-Being with Human-Centric Lighting

Enjoy the Beauty and Health Benefits of Natural Light

In recent years, lighting design has taken front and center in enhancing a home’s aesthetics. Designers, integrators, and homeowners are no longer limited to soft or bright white lights turned on and off in every room by the flick of a switch. Today, you can select from an infinite palette of colors and watch your home’s lighting transform just by pushing a button.

One of the most popular systems in our new era of home illumination is human-centric lighting. This system adds immense beauty while also enhancing your well-being. Here, we’ll explore why this form of lighting is in such high demand and how it’s changing the way we bring light to our homes in Minneapolis, MN.

What Is Human-Centric Lighting?

Lutron’s Ketra, the creator of the most advanced lighting system, developed tunable lights that mimic the hues and intensity of sunlight. Called human-centric or natural light, it brings the beauty and health benefits of daylight indoors by mirroring the changing light of the outside world.

Ketra’s proprietary technology shifts the color temperature across an almost infinite spectrum, harmonizing natural daylight with your home’s indoor light. In response, your body realigns with the rhythm of natural sunlight.

What Health Benefits Does It Bring?

Just a few hundred years ago, our ancestors spent much of their time outside, exposed to the changing natural light. It’s how humans evolved: with light and darkness affecting the body’s functions and the release of hormones that gave it energy during the day and prompted it to sleep in the evening.

Today, humans, on average, spend at least 90 percent of their time indoors. Artificial light has inexorably altered the rhythm of daylight and darkness and, in the process, affected human’s energy levels and well-being.

Bringing daylight indoors helps your body’s internal time clock realign, signaling your body when to be alert and when to relax. For many people, that translates to improved moods, enhanced concentration, and better sleep.

What Is It Like to Live with Human-Centric Lighting?

Imagine waking to the soft, blue glow of dawn. The sun rises as you head to the kitchen, and your lighting adjusts, transforming to its warm, golden glow. In this breathtaking light, you enjoy your first cup of coffee or tea, changing an everyday activity into a moment of beauty and balance.

When you head to the home office to start your workday, the lights reflect the cool-blue tone mirrored outside your windows. You notice your focus and productivity increasing. At day’s end, the ambient lighting throughout your home aligns with the setting sun, bringing a soft amber-like glow that tells your body it’s time to relax.
