Human Centric LED

• Medical science discovers a third receptor in our eyes
• This receptor proves that light is linked to the

development of all living organism dependant on the sun for existence

• This receptor aligns our bodies with our circadian rhythm

responsible for our bodily functions, our emotional and intellectual development

• This development is a huge leap forward for people

everywhere

• HCO-LAB designs a HCL based on Dr. Russell Foster’s

principles

• The colour of our interior LED lights changes just like the

sun

• The result produces phenomenal benefits for the health
• f all people, young and old

• Similar to what is used on the International Space Station
• Choice of light for all future space exploration for the

health of the astronauts

• Originally developed Dr. Russell Foster, a neuroscientist,

he has been urging the lighting industry to adapt to Dynamic Human Centric lighting and we follow his principles in our design

• Studies in Germany, Sweden, Belgium and England

resulted in astounding benefits moving Human-Centric LED as the mainstream light of choice in Europe

• Our presentation will explain how HCL improves and

promotes health and our well being, but has a huge cost saving results compared to traditional lighting.

Human Centric LED

The Science

• The retina contains three photoreceptors: colour sensitive

cones, dim light sensitive rods, and blue light sensitive ganglion cells

• Scientists discovered that the ganglion cells in the retina are

not used for sight

• Light waves enters the eye and signals are sent from the retina

to both the brain's visual centre and the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN)

• The ganglion cells responds to the visible blue light and

synchronizes our bodies to our biological clock

• The pineal gland, a major part of our biological clock which

controls the sleep hormone, melatonin, that is release with warm light and supressed with blue light

• Cortisol a stress hormone, stimulates the metabolism and

programs the body for day mode

• Serotonin works as a stimulant and motivator

The Three Parameters of HCL

Spectr trum um

• The blue wavelengths in light are the biologically active ingredient for

cool white light

• Melatonin is suppressed with cool white (+3500K) light

Inten ensity sity

• Studies suggest that relatively low illuminance levels

(~150 lx at the eye) is sufficient to induce alertness and shift a free-running circadian rhythm

• However, illuminance on the work surface (0.75m above floor level)

should be 2 - 3 times higher Timing ng & Duration ation

• Morning light tells our biological clock that the day has begun and that

bodily functions need to be activated

• Our human psychology reacts to the timing of colour temperature

variations throughout the day by the sun

• The larger the time of exposure, the larger the phase shift which

means, increasing duration is more effective than increasing light intensity

How HCL helps in Care Homes

• The average resident only receives up to 3% of sunlight per

day.

• By having HCL, it caused the receptor in the eye to reset

and align their bodies with its circadian rhythm responsible for controlling their bodily functions, healing, emotional and intellectual powers

• HCL also stimulated the body to produce Vitamin D for

stronger bones and reduce SAD symptoms

• Residents in care homes have more energy during the day,

sleeps better at night and have faster wake up times in the morning

• Residents response quicker to medication and recover

faster from diseases and injuries

• Doctors reported improvements with LTC patients suffering

from SAD, Dementia, Alzheimer’s and Cognitive issues with less behaviour problems from anxiety

• There is also a reduction of medication like sleep aids and

anti-depressants from anxiety and stress

• Freeing-up staff time to address other duties because

patients are having their activity and resting phases at the right time

How HCL affected Medical Staff?

• The lack of daylight from being inside is balanced by our

HCL which counteracts insomnia

• ER staff reported an increase in their senses, cognitive and

concentration during critical times

• Freeing-up staff time to address other duties because

patients are having their activity and resting phases at the right time

• More relaxed in the evening with fewer headaches and less

tired eyes

• Supervisors reported fewer mistakes and improvements in

alertness resulting in better productivity by 20%

• Sick days and overtime decreased by 20% because of

better employee satisfaction and morale

• Fatigue reduced by 27% resulting in employees being more

energetic

• HCL stimulates our body to produce Vitamin D promoting

stronger bones and reducing SAD symptoms

How does our HCL help Students?

• Cognitive Speed increased by 80%
• Errors decreased by 65%
• Increase energy resulting in deeper

concentration and better productivity

• Students achieved higher test scores
• Reduced ADHD and Autism behavior problems
• Less anxiety and stress
• Better mood, morale and attitude
• HCL stimulated the body to produce Vitamin D

promoting stronger bones and reducing SAD symptoms

• It improved the cell growth in student’s eyes

reducing their need for corrective eye glasses

How does HCL help Emergency Responders?

• The FBI reported that 34 of 47 officers who died in the

field, was a direct relation to insomnia because of night shift, our lighting significantly reduces insomnia

• With a reduction with insomnia, increase concentration

and alertness, officers are making better decisions.

• With higher cognitive speed, fewer mistakes and

increase energy, cases were being solved quicker.

• Researchers also concluded that with the officer’s

improved health, reduced insomnia and stress, the life expectancy between night shift officers and their day shift counterparts may be the same.

• Improvements in their mood, attitude, motivation and

morale see a reduction in sick days and medication.

• Better morale and fewer problems from prison inmates
• Our HCL stimulated the body to produce Vitamin D

promoting stronger bones and reducing SAD symptoms

How HCL Benefits Business

• Because of employee satisfaction and morale, sick

days decreasedby 20%

• Concentration and Creativity increased by 37%.
• Employees increase work performance by 20%.
• Alertness increased by 23%
• Fatigue dropped by 27%
• With higher cognitive speed and fewer mistakes,

projects were being completed faster

• It also reduces behaviour problems cause by stress

and anxiety

• Faster recovery from diseases and injury
• Faster recovery times from jet lag after either a

business trip or vacation

• HCL stimulated the body to produce Vitamin D

reducing SAD symptoms and promoting stronger bones

How HCL benefits Arctic Population from Polar Night & Midnight Sun

• DYNAMIC HCL develops a lighting environment for a specific task

in a specific area

• This cycle causes the receptor in the eye to reset and align the

body with its circadian rhythm (the wake - sleep cycle) responsible for controlling one’s bodily functions, healing, reproductive, energy, emotional & intellectual powers

• HCL stimulated the body to produce Vitamin D reducing SAD

symptoms and promoting stronger bones

• Sick days and overtime decreased by 20% because of employee

satisfaction

• Individuals have more energy during the day, sleeps better at

night and have faster wake up times in the morning

• Individuals response quicker to medication and recover faster

from diseases and injuries

• Concentration and Creativity increased by 37%.
• Employees increase work performance by 20%.
• Alertness increased by 23% while fatigue dropped by 27%

HCL also Benefits Livestock

• Benefits all livestock stored inside like horses,

poultry, dairy cows, hogs etc

• It also reduces behaviour problems cause by

stress and anxiety

• Better attitude resulting in easier training
• Reacts faster to medication
• Stimulates the body to produce Vitamin D for

stronger bones

• Faster recovery from diseases and injuries
• This affects all livestock such as poultry, hogs

and horses that are housed inside

• This development is a huge leap forward in

lighting

• Alertness increased while fatigue dropped

Even NASA uses HCL

• n the Space Station
• All future space exploration will use HCL

systems for the health of astronauts by simulating dawn, day and dusk to ensure they are in sync with their biological clock.
