Human-Centric Lighting: Enhancing Occupant Well-Being
Human-centric lighting (HCL) emphasizes the importance of lighting in supporting human health and productivity. It goes beyond mere illumination, focusing on aspects such as color temperature shifts and personalized light levels that align with the circadian rhythms of occupants. HCL systems are designed to mimic natural daylight patterns, providing a dynamic lighting...
