Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lighting system and a method for stimulating a user's energy.
- lighting systems have been developed for various purposes, such as lighting systems enabling users to set color temperatures in a variable manner in accordance with time and other situations so as to provide a physiological and psychological effect such as stimulation and relaxation of blood circulation.
- Other types of lighting systems that have been developed in recent years are systems coupled to shower baths, which systems turn on automatically when a person takes a shower.
- One important aspect that has not been taken into account in prior-art lighting systems relates to stimulating a user's energy, e.g. for enhancing his circadian rhythm.
- the present invention relates to a lighting system for stimulating a user's energy, the lighting system comprising: - at least one light source, and a control unit for controlling the light emitted from the at least one light source, wherein the controlling comprises the steps of instructing the at least one light source to emit bluish wake-up light and tuning the bluish light towards a daytime-like white light.
- a lighting system is thus provided which is especially suitable to enhance a user's circadian rhythm, i.e. it improves his physical and/or mental state in that the lighting system animates the early-morning light when the sun is low and the light appears to be bluish and thus prevents the user from getting a "light-shock" while being half asleep until the sun is higher and the light is white or whitish, thus providing a natural light effect.
- Such an "animation” can be essential for many users, e.g. those who have problems rising early or have a profession demanding irregular hours of sleep. The users may also be children having difficulties with rising early, or people suffering from depressions.
- the bluish wake-up light has a wavelength range of 390nm-470nm, e.g. 410nm-450nm, 415-425nm, or 419nm-421nm.
- the at least one light source is selected from:
- LED Light-Emitting Diodes
- fluorescent lighting incandescent lamps
- halogen lamps - High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps
- HID High-Intensity Discharge lamps
- the bluish light is tuned towards the daytime-like white light over a given period of time manually selected by the user.
- a user-friendly way is thus provided, which allows the user to personally select the most suitable period of time.
- the system further comprises a sensor adapted to be coupled to the control unit, wherein the tuning of the bluish light towards the daytime-like white light is initiated in response to a signal indicating the user's presence.
- the senor may be adapted to react to the user's movement or body heat in that the lighting system or cycle is turned on, and is also turned off when the user leaves the booth.
- the controlling further comprises the steps of emitting daytime-like light and tuning the daytime-like light to dusk-like/sunset-like light.
- the lighting system can thus be implemented to help the user to relax, which may be particularly beneficial to those who work in shifts and come home in the middle of the day.
- the system further comprises an activation unit comprising a timer, the timer being adapted to receive an input of a start time and the activation unit being adapted to activate, in response to the received start time, the control unit to start the emission of bluish light.
- the lighting system can thus be implemented as a kind of "alarm clock" enabling the user to set the start time for the bluish light.
- the timer is further adapted to receive an input of an end time, the difference between the received start time and the received end time indicating the maximum period of time for tuning the bluish light towards the daytime-like white light.
- the user can select the maximum period of time for tuning the light from bluish towards daytime like-white, and thus adapt the system to his needs.
- the present invention relates to use of the lighting system in a humid environment.
- the humid environment is a shower booth.
- the present invention relates to a method of stimulating a user's energy, the method comprising the steps of: providing at least one light source, and controlling the light emitted from the at least one light source, wherein the controlling comprises the steps of instructing the at least one light source to emit bluish wake-up light and tuning the bluish light towards a daytime-like white light.
- the light is made warmer by increasing the red-component intensity or reducing the blue component, or by a combination thereof.
- the bluish light is tuned towards a daytime-like light in a continuous way.
- Figure 1 shows a lighting system according to the present invention for stimulating a user's energy
- Figure 2 shows one example of implementation of the lighting system
- Figure 3 shows a method according to the present invention for stimulating a user's energy.
- Figure 1 shows a lighting system 100 according to the present invention for stimulating a user's (104) energy, the system comprising at least one light source 103 and a control unit (C U) 102 for controlling the light emitted from the at least one light source.
- the control unit (C U) 102 which may be e.g. a single switch or any kind of more sophisticated interface, is adapted to control the at least one light source 103 by instructing it to emit bluish wake-up light and tune the bluish light towards daytime-like white light, which may be done over a given period of time selected by the user 104.
- the bluish wake-up light has a wavelength range of 390nm-470nm, e.g.
- Use of the wavelength within this range, preferably around 420nm, has the advantage that exposure to UV light (below 400nm) is prevented, and that it is 100 to 200 times more effective than incandescent light. Moreover, it has an emotional and physiological effect on users. A great many studies have been made on the effect of light levels and light colors on melatonin suppression. Melatonin is also known as the sleepiness hormone and the human's indicator for the time of day, or rather the phase of the day. Periodical exposure to a high brightness level is helpful for the circadian rhythm after e.g.
- fluorescent gas discharge lamps which always have a UV component.
- a LED-based system can easily be made to use safe voltages, e.g. of 24V maximum, which renders them intrinsically safe for use in wet environments such as shower booths.
- Other light sources may of course be implemented and even required for tuning the bluish light towards the daytime-like light, such as halogen lighting systems, halogen spots, diffuse halogen lamps, HID, fluorescent lighting, incandescent lamps and halogen lamps, high-intensity discharge lamps and the like.
- control operation further comprises the steps of instructing the at least one light source 103 to emit daytime-like light and transforming the daytime-like light to dusk- like/sunset-like light, e.g. over a given period of time.
- the lighting system can thus be implemented to enhance the user's circadian rhythm.
- the system further comprises an activation unit (A U) 101 comprising a timer 105, the timer being adapted to receive an input of a start time and the activation unit being adapted to activate, in response to the received start time, the control unit (C U) 102 to start the emission of the bluish light.
- the user 104 may set the timer to a time in the morning when he wants the lighting system 100 to start the wake-up.
- the lighting system 100 can be implemented as a kind of "alarm clock" enabling the user 104 to set the start time for the bluish light.
- the timer 105 may of course also be adapted to receive an input of an end time, in which the difference between the received start time and the received end time indicates the maximum period of time for tuning the bluish light towards the daytime-like white light. Accordingly, when the user 104 sets the start time at 07:00 a.m. and the end time at 07:15 a.m., the lighting system 100 starts emitting bluish light at 07:00 a.m. and tunes it towards daytime-like white light within maximally 15 minutes, i.e. the tuning period is max.l5minutes .
- FIG. 2 shows an example of the lighting system 100, placed in a shower booth 200, as used by many people as part of their daily routine. Incorporation of this lighting system 100 in a shower booth 200 provides an optimal wake-up system giving the user 104 a more refreshed and awakened feeling. For example, at the beginning of the shower, the user 104 will experience a bluish light level, which prevents him from getting a light shock when entering the shower half asleep. Then, the blue light level is increased to get the optimal wake-up effect of the blue light. Shortly before the end or immediately after the shower period, the white light is made warmer by increasing the red-component intensity and/or reducing the blue component.
- Another example is a sensor (201) placed inside the shower booth and reacting to the user's movement or body heat in that the sensor turns on the lighting system or cycle and also turns it off when the user leaves the booth.
- the lighting system 100 is coupled to the shower system in such a way that the lighting system 100 starts emitting the bluish light when the water tap is turned on.
- the system may also be self-adaptive to the user's habits, e.g. when the user 104 usually stays in the shower booth for 15 minutes, the period of time for tuning the light from bluish light towards daytime-like white light will also be 15minutes, or even slightly shorter.
- the light source 103 is preferably placed above the user, at angles of 20° to 70° with respect to the horizon. As the person taking a shower will generally look a bit downwards so as to prevent water entering his eyes, the light will enter his eyes at an angle of between approx. 40° and close to 90°.
- the lighting system may of course be suitable for home use, e.g. in living rooms, above a bath tub, or in hotel rooms, etc.
- Figure 3 shows a method of stimulating a user's energy according to the present invention, wherein at least one light source is provided (S3) 303 and a control unit for controlling (S4) 304 the light emitted from the at least one light source, and wherein the control operation comprises the steps of instructing the at least one light source to emit bluish wake-up light and tuning the bluish light towards a daytime-like white light.
- the invention further comprises the steps of receiving a first input (Sl) 301 from the user indicating a time to start emitting the bluish wake-up light, and receiving a second input (S2) 302 from the user, indicating the end time of the wake-up or the period of time.
- a first input (Sl) 301 from the user indicating a time to start emitting the bluish wake-up light
- S2 second input
