What Is Circadian Lighting?

Circadian lighting is also known as human-centric lighting. It specifically relates to customizing your lighting fixtures to provide you with the optimum quantity, intensity, and lighting tone throughout the day. The amount of light available affects our circadian rhythms as bright lights keep you awake while dim lights help you sleep faster as it mimics the natural life cycle of day and night. 

Our body's clock is synced with the light of the sun; however, as we spend more time indoors, there is a greater chance of our timing's going awry. Traditional lighting is made to only be turned on and off, throwing our body off balance with constant and usually bright fluorescent light. Brands such as Lutron have taken active notice of this lighting dilemma. They are actively working on providing better lighting solutions that promote the health and wellbeing of homeowners, which has resulted in them perfecting circadian lighting.
