Ian Bibby of BB Light has spent his life passionately making, designing and educating for products with greater energy efficiency. All born from a resolve to make a significant contribution to maintaining our world in all its beauty for the history to come. The art of light making is more than just interesting, it is challenging Ian states. As Art can be a tonic for human intellect and the soul, without light art would be devoid of presence and invisible. Our accelerating move inside to build environments has removed us for significant proportions of time from the daily rhythms of our sun. So, to living and working, light is everything and the issues of trying to recreate the natural rhythms of light to our environment has become a challenge. Cal us on: 0203 327 0385 This can be met by creating circadian rhythm or human centric lighting. Ian has developed a product where the colour temperature control can be varied and dimmed in a range of colour temperatures which reproduce those of sunlight seen at various times of the day. Additionally by the use of digital clock sometime referred to as atomic clock the colour temperatures will change and mimic the day long behaviour of our sun from sunrise to sunset. Currently Ian achieves this by using downlights but is committed to building various luminaire types embodying the same control and outputs such that something like a task light would perform the same function and thus greatly improve the natural rhythm of light we need for health and wellbeing. Research is showing that there are many benefits to be derived and use of lighting with circadian rhythm in hospitals for healing benefits will be welcome.
