Helvar adds software for human-centric lighting

Finnish LED lighting company Helvar has added another piece to its repertoire of smart lighting technology, introducing touch-screen software that lets offices change the interior lighting's color temperature and brightness to suit different tasks and objectives.

The new Light over Time software delivers what is commonly known as human-centric (HCL), or circadian, lighting. As LEDs Magazine noted in a recent two-part feature, colder blue-hued light can foster alertness, and warmer amber hues can set a more relaxing atmosphere.
