Savant, in partnership with architectural lighting manufacturer, USAI Lighting, has introduced lighting control functionality called Daylight Mode that can align lighting schemes to match the natural circadian progression based on time-of-day. Designed to promote healthy living, Daylight Mode can be personalized by each user to suit individual lifestyle and situational changes. Savant Daylight Mode is available now.
Daylight Mode relies on the Savant App to suggest a circadian curve based upon scientific data that highlights time-of-day settings for color temperature and lighting intensity shifts seamlessly throughout the progression of each day. The Savant app intelligently adjusts for related factors such as geography, time zone, and season. Beyond the scientific defaults, users can personalize their lighting experience by adjusting timing, intensity, and color temperature settings to suit their daily habits. Users can turn on and off Daylight Mode in specific rooms of the home from within the Savant App, plus have keypad buttons to instantly override circadian settings for specific task lighting, entertainment settings, and more.
Savant’s Daylight Mode is most effective when used in combination with advanced tunable white LED lighting or WRGB fixtures that have dynamic color temperature capabilities, such as USAI Lighting’s recessed fixtures that feature the company’s Color Select or Infinite Color+ technology. For the ultimate in system flexibility, Savant’s Daylight Mode also supports fixtures within the home that are not dynamic, precisely dimming the intensity of each fixture in sync with the tunable LED lighting.
Any Savant Scene can include Daylight Mode settings. As the homeowner recalls a kitchen scene at 10:00 AM, it will command the lighting to come on that intensity and cool color temperature aligned with that time of day. The same Savant Scene activated at 8:00 PM will result in lighting settings that are in accordance with the evening hours, maintaining circadian rhythm and a healthier cycle. Daylight Mode can be easily overridden as needed for specific tasks, events or mood lighting.
In order to support these advanced features, Savant has created a lighting and energy education space within the Savant Experience Center, designed to provide integrators and their clients with a firsthand look at wellness, lighting, and energy automation features for enhanced living.
