In tune with circadian rhythms

Now available from Hampshire-based designer and manufacturer of ‘smart LED lighting solutions’, PhotonStar LED Group, is HalcyonPRO, ‘an intelligent, wireless, automated energy-saving and circadian lighting solution’.

The company explained: “Research has shown that circadian lighting can have many benefits in healthcare environments. These include faster recovery times, plus the ability to improve sleep, health, and wellbeing, and reduce dementia symptoms. HalcyonPRO changes to not only vary the colour and intensity of visible light, but also to control the amount of blue light throughout the day – from a stimulating ‘biological’ light, to ‘biological darkness’.”

The system also offers ‘automated energy saving’ via occupancy and daylight sensors. These automatically control the lights based on occupancy, and daylight levels. Energy usage of individual fittings or the entire system can be monitored via the HalcyonPRO lighting server to allow users to make changes ‘to positively affect their energy use and maximise savings’.

PhotonStar LED Group added: “As a wireless lighting control system, the cost of installation is very low, and fitting results in minimal disruption. HalcyonPRO can be used in all buildings, as it has been designed for retrofit.”
