🢂 Why is light so important?
Light has a direct influence on our bodies, and more specifically on our hormones.
It regulates certain biological processes in the body, such as our internal clock.
In the morning, the production of cortisol, a hormone that prepares the body for the day, is triggered.
At the same time, the pineal gland stops producing melatonin, the sleep hormone that tires and slows down bodily functions.
🢂 The incidence of light on an operator in a control room
Science now knows that these processes can be influenced by indirect lighting on large surfaces.
The brightness and color temperature of light affect ganglion cells that transmit impulses to the NSC, the control center of the vegetative nervous system.
The impact of light on employees has now been established: poor lighting can jeopardize employees' well-being at work, and consequently have a negative impact on their productivity.
🢂 The SOA answer to "blind" control rooms
A "blind" control room, i.e. one with no access to natural light, can still be a pleasant, high-performance workspace.
To this end, SOA offers lighting design as part of its engineering department's services.
Biodynamic lighting, or Visual Timing Light, is an ideal solution in these circumstances.
This innovative light management system reflects the dynamics of natural light inside the building. The intensity and color temperature of the light from the bio-effect luminaires change throughout the day.
Our team is at your disposal to study your projects and design bright, ergonomic workspaces.
