Benefits of Tunable White

Tunable white LED products have a profound effect on our health. The blue light that they produce improves alertness, regulates our biological clocks and benefits those that suffer from Dyslexia.

Tunable white light benefits our circadian rhythm (biological clock) as it can be programmed and tuned to a color temperature that best enhances this cycle. The most ideal color temperature can be selected for a particular time of day. Cooler color temperatures in the morning help us to wake up in a more alert state, while warmer color temperatures in the evening help us to relax and sleep. With the tunable white LED module, the color temperature of the fixture can be programmed to be anywhere in the range of 2700K to 6000K.

Pathway will be introducing several products that utilize the tunable white LED drivers that are being developed by Philips Lighting. Stay tuned for this exciting product annoucement.
