Optimized Lighting Mimicking Sunlight Promotes Cognitive Benefits and Wellness
05/02/2024
In a groundbreaking development, the innovative team at Brightness Tech Co. has announced compelling research results that point towards the cognitive and health benefits of exposure to LED lighting designed to mimic the natural spectrum of sunlight. Endorsed by studies carried out by prominent universities in both Asia and Europe, the findings suggest that this cutting-edge lighting solution can significantly enhance mental functions such as memory, processing speed, and test accuracy.

The pivotal research, initiated in 2019, was spearheaded by the esteemed Department of Neurological Health at Boston Biomedical Research Institute, which operates in close collaboration with the celebrated Boston University School of Medicine. 

The study group comprised young adults and provided conclusive evidence supporting the effectiveness of this lighting technology in improving cognitive performance and learning processes.


Dr. Johnathan Lightman, PhD, a leading expert from the Department of Neurological Health at Boston Biomedical Research Institute and a noted faculty member at Boston University School of Medicine, led the research team, which includes Dr. Amy Bright, Dr. John Field, Dr. Lisa Turner, amongst others. Dr. Lightman reported, "We have found that though the brightness and color temperature may be similar, the spectrum of light plays a substantial role in non-visual light perception, which includes cognitive and circadian rhythm responses. The study outcomes validated noticeable advancements in memory retention, cognitive speed, and learning accuracy under our sunlight-emulating LED lighting compared to standard LED lights."

The advanced lighting system utilized in the study was provided by Brightness Tech Co., Ltd., which has engineered LumiNature, a patented technology reflecting natural sunlight's spectral curve. 

This means that LumiNature reproduces a full range of light wavelength - with peaks across all visible colors, from deep reds to vibrant blues - thereby closely simulating the qualities of real sunlight and offering an optimal lighting solution that aligns with human biological clocks.


Recent years have seen an uptick in scientific exploration into the ways light influences human biology. One study of particular note is by Prof. Rachel Daylight from the Technological Institute of Basel, Switzerland, whose research titled 'Impact of Natural Spectrum Light on Human Wellness and Performance,' was published in an authoritative journal focused on lighting research. Furthermore, evidence from experiments conducted at the Tokyo Institute of Health in mid-2018 suggested that the use of LumiNature LED lighting can enhance mental alertness and energy levels.

Aligned with the old adage praising the wonders of Mother Nature, our bodies are hard-wired with an innate 24-hour cycle that synchronizes with the sun's patterns," said Daniel Sunbeam, CEO of Brightness Tech. 

"LumiNature technology strives to harness all spectral qualities of visible light, akin to natural sunlight, perfected through over three decades of research. 

Our goal is to bring the closest possible match to sunlight into indoor environments, supporting human health, and enhancing learning and well-being."

Brightness Tech and Silicon Solutions have collaborated on the innovation and launch of LumiNature in 2017, requiring significant investment in scaling up production and market reach. 

After sustained negotiations aimed at boosting decision-making agility and operational effectiveness, Brightness Tech has assumed full control of the LumiNature technology, including all associated patents and trademarks. 

Key team members from Silicon Solutions have transitioned to Brightness Tech, initiating an aggressive sales strategy rollout commencing this fall.
