Human-centric lighting utilizes lighting technology to seamlessly integrate light, climate, and space, providing benefits to individuals' physical well-being, emotions, and overall health, while meeting the personalized lighting needs of people within specific application environments. It represents a partial convergence of intelligent lighting and healthy lighting, ushering in a human-centered lighting era.
The first aspect of human-centric lighting focuses on improving the visual effects of light sources by achieving low blue light solutions through spectral tuning, effectively mitigating potential damage to the human retina caused by LED light sources. Currently, China is focusing on the application and popularization of low blue light lighting solutions, with lighting sources featuring a low blue light hazard index (RG0 level) gradually being adopted in educational, office, and residential lighting.
The second aspect concerns the non-visual effects of light sources. It moves beyond simply pursuing luminous efficacy or color rendering index, and instead focuses on dynamically adjusting the spectrum to align with human physiological rhythms, thereby improving the quality of human life.
Outdoor lighting is one of the most common scenarios in general lighting, encompassing both ordinary outdoor lighting applications such as streetlights, tunnel lights, and outdoor advertising lights, as well as outdoor landscape lighting like lawn lamps and scenic lights. Outdoor lighting refers to outdoor lighting projects that serve both illumination purposes and possess a certain degree of decorative and environmental beautification functions. It is characterized by a large illuminated area, good lighting effects, concentrated light sources, uniform illumination, minimal glare, and ease of control.
Commercial lighting primarily encompasses various business scenarios such as supermarkets, airport buildings, restaurants and hotels, agricultural and fresh produce markets, and clothing and department stores. It requires a bright and comfortable lighting environment, visual guidance, and the fulfillment of illuminance and color rendering needs for different functional areas. Simultaneously, for decorative lighting requirements within these scenes, changes in color and dynamics, along with intelligent lighting control systems, are used to enhance the ambiance beyond basic illumination, providing a different visual experience. Leveraging the TM-30-15 color quality metric and based on an understanding of different lighting scenes or merchandise, Borei provides matching solutions. Through the rational modulation of the spectrum, the color saturation of goods can be enhanced, achieving a better visual experience.
General lighting scenarios encompass residential lighting, commercial lighting, outdoor lighting, and human-centric lighting. Different application scenarios have corresponding requirements for light color and spectral structure. Based on its understanding of these diverse applications, Borei Optoelectronics provides customers with matching phosphor products and comprehensive overall solutions.
Residential Lighting
Residential lighting is one of the most common application scenarios for LED lighting. Household lighting primarily uses white or warm white light to create a soft and comfortable illuminated environment. The layout of household lighting mainly includes three types: ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting. Depending on the function of the space within a home, the requirements for color temperature and color rendering index (CRI) vary. Public spaces generally use neutral white light, while living rooms tend towards lower color temperatures. The CRI (Ra) must be greater than 80, and with the continuous improvement of luminous efficacy, the CRI (Ra) is likely to universally reach 90 or higher. Borei Optoelectronics offers customers a comprehensive phosphor solution with a high luminous efficacy and a full range of color temperatures and color rendering indices, covering a correlated color temperature (CCT) range from 2200 to 6500K and CRIs including Ra70/80/90/95+.
