CENTRIC LIGHTING
Natural daylight is a rich mix of colours that change over the course of the day and regulate our body clocks. The
static colour of artificial lighting skews our individual internal clock, leaving us blighted by a tired and lacklustre
feeling. With LUCTRA®’s human centric LED lighting system, the colour changes found in natural daylight are
replicated, harnessing the biological effect of light in order to deliver proven wellbeing and productivity benefits
within the workplace.
the LEDs, maintaining an operating temperature which never
rises above 40°C. Self-locking joints specially developed for
LUCTRA® allow adjustment of the lamp to any desired position.
Floor and Floor Twin: The LUCTRA® floor lamp models are
available in individual or twin versions and in a sleek floor
standing form, distributing perfectly even lighting from a
maximum height of 1.80 metres. The individually adjustable
lamp heads of the floor lamp provide maximum flexibility; in
particular the twin lamp heads can be adjusted independently
to provide multiple users their own personal lighting sequence.
Now for the Science
The natural colour of daylight stimulates the production of
melatonin, a chemical hormone that makes us feel sleepy, and
serotonin, which regulates your mood. In turn, these hormones
control our circadian rhythm, a 24-hour, endogenously
generated cycle that influences people’s sleeping and eating
patterns. The colour and intensity of daylight changes over the
course of 24-hours and can have a significant effect on these
two hormones.
The effective targeted changes of light colour provided by
the LUCTRA® family of lamps are able to remedy a deficit in
these hormones by stabilising the human biorhythm, ensuring
individuals are able to sleep well and feel more rested when
carrying out their daily tasks.
The biologically effective light of LUCTRA® uses both cold
white and warm white LEDS that produce an illuminance of up
to 1,000 lux, and an impressive Kelvin level between 2,700K
and 6,500K to recreate natural daylight.
LUCTRA® will be exhibiting its innovative range at Clerkenwell
Design Week (24-26 May 2016) and on stand PR9, Project
Exhibition, visitors will see:
FLEX: FLEX is a rechargeable, cordles s lamp that provides
complete freedom to work anywhere without compromising the
quality of light. Available in orange, black, white and aluminium
finishes, FLEX can operate as a table lamp or a wall lamp, with
its unique angled design able to support itself against a wall
or the side of a table. FLEX’s integrated lithium-ion battery is
capable of powering the lamp for up to four hours, delivering
unrivalled portable human centric lighting.
Table and Table Pro: The flagships models are available in
three contemporary finishes of aluminium, black or white,
ensuring coordination with a multitude of interiors which is
complimented by the geometric (LINEAR) or rounded (RADIAL)
lamp head design. Stylish and practical open cooling fins are
featured in the lamp heads to effectively dissipate the heat from
Every lamp in the range benefits from the innovative
VITACORE® electronic system. This technology offers users
intuitive access to LUCTRA® functions and the ability to control
the brightness and colour of the light by simply placing a finger
on the touch panel. A VITACORE® app (not available on the
Table or FLEX model) is also available on Apple and Android
systems, allowing a fully adjustable 24-hour lighting sequence
to be programmed to automatically vary the colour and
intensity of light to simulate natural illumination through the
course of the day.
