3 DAYLIGHT A NATURAL REGULATOR "Having talked with ES-SYSTEM about what is technologically possible when combining the latest LEDs with spectral power distribution coming as close as possible to sunlight, and photoreceptor-weighted adjustments in intensity based on local sky measurements, ES-SYSTEM s way forward in designing lighting installations being in harmony with human circadian rhythms is the most advanced I have come across so far." Katharina Wulff, PhD University Research Lecturer in Chronobiology and Sleep University of Oxford United Kingdom Human activity functions according to a rhythm determined by nature. Since dawn, we use daylight in our daily activities work, studying, and entertainment. We rest when daylight goes away, regenerating during the nighttime. This is the circadian rhythm, during which we spend about 16 hours being active, and the remaining 8 hours resting. This is a rhythm that has been forced upon us by evolution. This daily activity pattern is determined not only by practicality. Scientific studies prove that a dependency of a chemical nature also exists. Light not only helps us to discover the images coming from the world that surrounds us. It regulates sleep, participates in the absorption and production of vitamins, and takes care of proper hormonal management. Importantly, daylight directly affects people s mood and well-being. 1

4 The retina has three photoreceptors: rods, cones, and the third ip- RGC photoreceptor which is sensitive to blue light in a narrow band of wavelengths. This third photoreceptor is responsible for regulating the circadian cycle. Only after about 90 minutes of exposure to light, the process of the release of melatonin, called the sleep hormone, is stopped. The problem of circadian rhythm irregularities occurs most in places where access to daylight is limited. Visible light affects diverse physiological functions. The blue wavelength of light has melatonin suppression characteristics. Human eye iprgc PHOTORECEPTOR 2 3

5 HUMAN CENTRIC LIGHTING Since light is a potent regulator of the human circadian rhythm, the goal of lighting design should also be to provide illumination for human photobiological response as well as vision. In order to minimize the effects of a disrupted circadian rhythm, ES-SYSTEM has expanded its product offer to include luminaires equipped with CIRCADIAN technology. 4000K white light has been enriched with blue and red beams with strictly defined wavelengths. Blue-enriched white light helps to improve alertness and boosts the reaction time only when you needed it. On the other hand, red-enriched white light helps with better sleep, improved behavior and mood.

Scientists have unequivocally confirmed that these problems are caused by lacking access to daylight. Spending the majority of the day in rooms with limited access to daylight and the seasons with a significantly shorter daytime expose people to the adverse phenomenon of releasing melatonin at the same level throughout the day. This results in numerous negative consequences, such as: lack of concentration, bad mood, drowsiness, apathy, fatigue, and even depression. This affects learning performance and work efficiency. Unfortunately, ordinary fluorescent lamps and white LEDs are incapable of effectively replacing daylight. The solutions that are currently available on the market change the color of the light and can influence people s moods, they do not, however, affect the regulation of the circadian rhythm.

6 A NOBEL PRIZE FOR RESEARCH ON THE CIRCADIAN RHYTHM THE HEALING POWER OF LIGHT The Nobel prize for medicine and physiology in 2017 was awarded to Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young scientists who contributed to explaining the molecular mechanism of the daily activity rhythm, i.e. the CIRCADIAN RHYTHM. Using well-known scientific discoveries and the possibilities offered by LED technology, ES-SYSTEM has enriched 4000K white light with blue and red beams of light with strictly defined wavelengths. Luminaires with the CIRCADIAN technology effectively regulate the circadian rhythm. FACTS The higher the color of light, the greater the blue content and higher the melatonin suppression Blue light exposure is not recommended prior to bedtime The minimum duration of exposure to morning daylight in order to stop melatonin production is 90 minutes The remarkable effects of CIRCADIAN technology have been recorded by therapists from the Järvenpää Hospital in Helsinki. The Finnish facility uses a light treatment room using ES-SYSTEM technology. The TRANSPARENT and OP- POSITE luminaires that are used there emit light that aids the therapy in patients with depression and seasonal mood disorders. The right-timed exposures to light benefit not only the treatment of seasonal mood disorders, but also that of non-seasonal depressive disorders and circadian rhythm sleep disorders. Thus, the concept of CIRCADIAN fits in the evidence-based approach to the treatment of the aforementioned mental disorders and supports their clinical management. Timo Partonen Doctor of Medicine National Institute for Health and Welfare, Finland Circadian rhythm disorders can lead to cardiovascular disease, hormonal problems, and above all, mental disorders such as chronic fatigue or depression 6 7

7 LUMINAIRES EQUIPPED WITH CIRCADIAN TECHNOLOGY ARE DEDICATED FOR USE IN: LIGHTING DESIGN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CIRCADIAN RHYTHM Schools and universities Hospitals hospital rooms, Offices individual offices, Designing lighting in accordance with the circadian rhythm is a fundamentally different process than standard lighting design. The traditional approach is mainly focused on visibility, lecture halls, auditoriums, classrooms, common rooms, libraries, gyms, etc. staff rooms, residency rooms, treatment rooms, etc. open spaces, break rooms, conference rooms minimizing glare and shadows, providing appropriate color rendering and safety. When designing lighting in line with the concept of Human Centric Lighting, it is important to consider the light intensity, spectrum and exposure time. If the light emitted by the luminaire is meant to effectively strive towards imitating daylight, it cannot shine in a concentrated beam onto one spot. Scientific research shows that the most effective luminaires are ones that work on large surfaces, and, like the sun, not only directly illuminate certain areas, but also use reflective light. Hotels restaurant facilities, Production plants areas Shopping centers ES-SYSTEM has introduced the CIRCADIAN technology to a whole range of luminaires that can be successfully used leisure facilities, wellness and spa facilities, offices without daylight requiring high alertness passageways, sales facilities in offices, schools, lecture halls, conference rooms, as well as hospitals, retirement homes, and private homes and apartments.
