LED lights regulate the biological clock GE, such as the introduction of circadian rhythm lights

GE launched the Align new technology SSL modified lamp is designed to meet the natural human sleep and wake cycle, while the lighting science group of this product belongs to baby sleep products, designed to train baby sleep.

GE lighting and Lighting Science Group (LSG) of the new LED lamp products are designed to help people sleep normally, GE's new Align series includes different versions for night and morning use. Lighting Science Group has launched a similar product for night sleep and awakening and warning lights, the new addition of this baby sleep light is designed to help parents train the baby sleep all night.

Warm -CCT light at night can encourage the production of melatonin in humans, inducing sleep; while cold blue -CCT light in the morning can inhibit melatonin, leading to human alertness and improve productivity. PHILPS also recently said it was involved in such a study, for LED lighting and human circadian rhythms, but researchers do not fully understand the impact of light on the human body non visual receptors. Still, many companies are ready to study solid-state lighting (SSL) technology aimed at optimizing the sleep / wake cycle.

Many products are being developed in order to match the circadian cycle, set up adjustable light engine produces warm and cool light at different times of the day and night, but the cost of design inevitably higher, because multiple LED channels are involved in more complex, must drive and control components, for control of any independent programming or lamp or lighting equipment.

However, GE's Align products are able to take a more simple approach to meet the circadian lighting, that is, to provide two separate LED lamp, respectively, for the night and early morning use. Among them, the night light bulb (PM bulb) produces amber light, imitating the candle or flame. GE suggested that people should use 350 7W light bulbs for about 30 minutes before going to bed.

11W, 900 lumens Align morning light (AM light bulb) produced GE, described as "let a person be absorbed in blue light". The company said that after waking up 30 minutes to light the lamp, help to promote the natural awakening cycle.

Morning and evening lights are priced at $35, currently available on the Amazon website, PM bulbs priced at $31.09, AM bulbs priced $32.48.

Gary Alan, chief engineer and physicist at GE lighting, LED, said: "if the weather is sunny, is it possible for everyone to adjust to a good mood, and gloomy weather will be different? Light not only affects our mood and health, but also affects our ability to fall asleep. By changing the timing and the amount of light to illuminate the spectral quality, we can avoid disturbing the body's natural circadian rhythm. "

GE also produced a nine page white paper on the PDF document, which describes the relationship between lighting and sleep, including the basics of circadian rhythms, melatonin production and the characteristics of the sleep / wake cycle

Of course, the GE lamp is not the first to market rhythm lamp products. As early as the January 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on the launch of the sleeping lights and sober & warning lights, LSG said that the launch of the product is to understand the work of the astronauts rely entirely on artificial light source LSG.

Now the new 3.5W modified LSG lamp produces 300 lumens, designed to replace 40W incandescent bulbs. Very warm 2300K CCT, rated 25000 hours of time, priced at $30, with a 5 year warranty period.

Lighting science group of lighting director Robert Soler said: "as a scientist, but also a baby's father, the development of a LED lamp to adjust the biological clock, and can let my family benefit is very important to me. Research and cooperation with NASA's pioneering use of technology, we have launched the night light bulb (Good Night LED lamps), designed for baby tailored to support the development of a healthy infant circadian rhythm and sleep cycle, can now use light baby we can fall asleep faster and longer sleep time, if the night feeding or dressing can wake the baby again let him fall asleep faster, the product can hope to provide a healthy environment to promote global LED lighting, lighting the biological progress.
