Understanding Signify’s BioUp Technology and the Impact on Occupant Well-being

And the more time we spend indoors, the less likely it is that we are exposing ourselves to sufficient daylight. We often forget how important natural light is – it can affect our mood, energy levels, productivity and sleep. The exposure to the natural light-dark cycle gives our biological clocks the essential time cues we need to feel well and perform well.

Most indoor light emits only visual levels of light. With the right technology, we can mimic natural day cycles to bring the non-visual impact of lighting indoors, supporting occupant wellbeing.

• Metabolic function
• Vitality and stress alleviation 
• Daytime functioning, cognitive performance and alertness
• Stabilized circadian rhythms, regulated sleep timing and enhanced nocturnal melatonin levels

• Higher MDER of up to 0.97: more melanopic light per lumen
• Higher MDER*LER: more melanopic light per watt radiation for higher efficiency (up to 19% more) 
• The ability to tune CCT with MDER values over a wider range, from 5000K at 0.97 to 2700K at 0.44, for better daylight simulation

With these features, BioUp performs with excellent efficiency and superb daylighting simulation, positively impacting the occupant experience.
