1
Light is Medicine
2
Melatonin Control: Melatonin (Sleep hormone) is suppressed by strong light in morning and secreted in darkness at night. If this rhythm goes mad, cause of insomnia and depression. Lighting is not 'Thing to brighten' but 'Thing to inform time'
3
Dyson Solarcycle Morph: Calculate position of sun at current location by GPS, and reproduce 'Natural light' at that moment. Automatically changes to refreshing pale light in morning and orange like sunset at night
4
BenQ ScreenBar Halo: Definitive edition of monitor hanging light. Reflection (Glare) to screen is zero, brighten only hand. Back indirect lighting reduces luminance difference between monitor and wall, preventing eye strain
5
Color Temperature: Enhance concentration with 6500K (Daylight color) at time of work, and calm brain with 2700K (Light bulb color) at time of relaxation. Not doing this switching is like working in pajamas

Introduction: Drug of Light

Powerful awakening substance than caffeine. That is “Blue Light”.

Blue light in morning is medicine to wake up brain and reset biological clock. However, blue light at night is poison destroying sleep. We have evolved to live according to movement of sun. Sun is necessary also on desk.

1. The Time Keeper: Dyson Solarcycle Morph

Daylight Tracking

When turn on switch after waking up in morning, gradually becomes strong from weak light, and reaches peak at noon. Automatically becomes warm color system in evening, and becomes light like candle at night. There is report that insomnia was cured just by living under this light.

2. The Focus Booster: BenQ ScreenBar Halo

Reason why desk looks cluttered is because light is not uniform. ScreenBar illuminates only front of monitor (Keyboard area) accurately. Unnecessary things do not enter field of view, and immersion is born.

4. The Lighting Recipe

It is my recommended setting.

07:00 - 12:00 : 6000K (Blue-rich). Stimulate sympathetic nerve.
13:00 - 17:00 : 4000K (Natural). Sustain concentration.
18:00 - 22:00 : 2700K (Warm). Start secretion of melatonin.
22:00 - : Turn off light, or indirect lighting only.

Dyson does this fully automatically. If BenQ, please turn remote control consciously.

Conclusion: Regain Rhythm

Modern people, biological clock is mad. Go to bright convenience store until late at night, and look at smartphone in bed. With this, autonomic nerve screams.

Please control light. It is to control your hormone balance. If bathe in correct light, become active in daytime and become able to sleep like mud at night.
