Dynamic visible light
Visible-light output can vary in spectrum, color temperature, and intensity to reflect different times of day and application requirements.
Patented lighting innovation
Bring more of the biologically relevant qualities of sunlight indoors. Our technology coordinates tunable visible light with near-infrared radiation to approximate selected spectral, intensity, and temporal characteristics of natural sunlight.
Lighting as an environmental input
Indoor Health considers how conditions such as light, air, sound, temperature, and materials influence human comfort, daily rhythms, and wellbeing.
Light is one of the most important environmental inputs. Yet conventional indoor lighting primarily addresses visual requirements and energy efficiency, reproducing only a limited portion of the natural sunlight environment.
Artificial Sunlight Lighting™ introduces a broader approach: coordinated visible light and NIR designed for biologically informed indoor environments.
Indoor Health
What if lighting were designed not only for what the eye can see, but also for the environment the human body experiences?
The platform
A controlled NIR layer extends advanced visible-light systems beyond conventional illumination.
Visible-light output can vary in spectrum, color temperature, and intensity to reflect different times of day and application requirements.
Controlled NIR extends the indoor spectral environment beyond visible illumination. It is a significant component of sunlight but is largely absent from conventional LED lighting.
Visible and NIR outputs can be independently controlled and coordinated according to defined sunlight profiles, schedules, or user requirements.
Design objectives
Artificial Sunlight Lighting™ enables partners to develop lighting solutions with a new value dimension beyond lumens, efficiency, and color temperature.
Artificial Sunlight Lighting™ is supported by a growing intellectual-property portfolio relating to artificial sunlight technologies and associated system architectures, including US 11,959,599 and US 12,416,392.
Licensing and collaboration
iTechRe is seeking lighting manufacturers, component suppliers, research organizations, and strategic partners to bring Artificial Sunlight Lighting™ to international markets.
