Luxtech’s warm glow LED dimming emulates incandescent lights
The company claims its Warm Dim system supports a healthy circadian rhythm by enabling the LED lights’ brightness to be adjusted throughout the day, emulating natural day light and providing just the right exposure to light to guarantee a better sleep at night.
This is because our body clocks are influenced by the blue component of natural and artificial light spectra. During the day, we need blue light to keep us awake and alert. At night, blue light should be minimized to promote rest and relaxation. Several studies suggest that insufficient blue light during the day or too much blue light at night can seriously impact overall energy levels, with negative short- and long-term health consequences.
Luxtech claims that although it isn’t the first company to release a product with “incandescent-like” dimming, its competitors’ products tend to be costly, complex, and low in efficacy.
“Many do not match the colour vs. brightness curve of equivalent incandescent sources. In addition, they typically do not dim any lower than 2,200 K or 5-10% brightness. This is too bright and too cold for many applications where an incandescent effect is desired”, writes Greg Yeutter, Product Architect at Luxtech in a company blog.
