For thousands of years, humans lived their days around the rising and setting of the sun. After the invention of the carbon-filament bulb in the late 19^th century, artificial light enabled humans to continue daytime activities long after sunset, which became a cornerstone of modern life.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t until the late 20^th century that researchers began to realize the negative effects artificial light may have on our circadian clocks. Our physiological processes depend greatly on the naturally dynamic shifts in sunlight. Too much or too little light at the wrong time of day can throw them out of sync, causing physical and mental fatigue and even illness.

We’re not suggesting you stop using artificial lights at your Issaquah, WA home. Instead, upgrade to tunable LEDs, which can change in color temperature and intensity throughout the day to mimic the changing patterns of sunlight. This smarter and healthier solution to lighting can be easily achieved with Lutron lighting control. Keep reading for a deeper dive into the benefits of tunable lighting.
