The Science of Light and the Human Body

Light is pivotal in regulating our circadian rhythm—the internal clock that dictates when to be alert and when to rest. One of the primary reasons is that the hormone melatonin, which is integral to sleep, is regulated by light. Darkness prompts the pineal gland to ramp up melatonin production, easing us into sleep. Conversely, exposure to light, particularly blue light from screens, can suppress melatonin levels, leading to difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep. 

On the flip side, cortisol—the hormone associated with wakefulness and stress—operates in opposition to melatonin. A healthy circadian rhythm has cortisol rising in the morning, stirring us into wakefulness and activity, and tapering off as the day ends, making way for the sleep-inducing rise of melatonin. This cortisol-melatonin cycle helps prime our body for rest at night and activity during the day.

Modern life, however, often disrupts this natural rhythm through excessive and ill-timed exposure to artificial light. This misalignment can lead to sleep and metabolic disorders, underscoring the importance of a well-maintained circadian rhythm and access to natural lighting in general. 

How Lutron Harnesses the Power of Human-Centric Lighting 

Ketra’s tunable fixtures let you fine-tune lighting across a spectrum of millions of colors, each designed to replicate the hues and intensities found in the natural world. From the soft amber of a candle to the crisp azure of a clear sky, Ketra reproduces an endless array of colors that evoke moods, enhance aesthetics, and adapt to any setting or occasion.

This level of personalization extends to white light as well, with tunable options that shift seamlessly from the warm tones of incandescent bulbs at sunset to the energizing cool daylight of midday. The result is a lighting experience that enhances productivity and creates ambiances tailored to individual preferences or designed to complement specific tasks and times of the day.

Lutron lighting control helps you get the most out of these Ketra lighting fixtures. Create personalized settings for certain activities you can pull up at a button press or even activate a ‘Natural Light” scene that automatically changes the color temperature of your fixtures to mimic the changing sunlight throughout the day.
