Experience at the workplace

Picture

Hard work by day – rest and relaxation at night.

Light with a high blue component that mimics natural daylight stabilizes our circadian rhythm . It has a profound effect on the control center for our internal clock, making us more alert, more attentive and more able to concentrate on our work. And our recovery during the night does not suffer as a result – quite the opposite. Biologically effective light during the day increases secretions of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin during the night. The consequences are obvious – more restful nights with less time to get to sleep and then deeper sleep – ideal recuperation for the following day.

Artificial daylight (spectrum and dynamics) at the workplace therefore has a two-fold positive effect, making work more enjoyable and improving our well-being.

Walter Hueck, Technical Service, OSRAM GmbH:

"We recently had this new lighting installed. After a short period of getting used to the new lighting everything looks much nicer and more spacious than before. I am more alert, can concentrate better and feel happier in this light. Work is much more fun – and the risk of accidents is much smaller."
