Savant has partnered with architectural lighting manufacturer, USAI Lighting, to introduce a Daylight Mode to Savant systems.
Encouraging a more healthy lifestyle, the new lighting control functionality can align lighting schemes to match the natural circadian progression based on the time of day.
Available now, individual users can personalise the Daylight Mode to suit their lifestyles and situational changes.
Utilising the Savant app, Daylight Mode is determined based on scientific data highlighting time of day settings for colour temperature and lighting intensity shifts seamlessly throughout the progression of each day.
The app intelligently takes into account and adjusts for related factors such as geography, time zone and season.
In addition to the scientific basis of the new mode, users can also personalise it to suit their lifestyle by adjusting timing, intensity and colour temperature settings.
Daylight Mode can be turned on or off for specific rooms from within the Savant app, as well as having keypad buttons to instantly override circadian settings for specific task lighting, entertainment settings, and more.
The new mode is most effective when combined with advanced tunable white LED lighting or WRGB fixtures that have dynamic colour temperature capabilities, such as USAI Lighting’s recessed fixtures that feature the company’s Colour Select or Infinite Colour+ technology.
It also supports fixtures in the home that are not dynamic, precisely dimming the intensity of each fixture in sync with the tunable LED lighting.
Savant Scenes can incorporate Daylight Mode settings, allowing homeowners to recall a scene at a specific time to command the lighting to come on that intensity and colour temperature aligned with that time of the day.
The same Savant scene can then be activated at a different time of the day and will result in lighting settings that in accordance with the different time of day, maintaining circadian rhythm and a healthier cycle.
Supporting these advanced features, Savant has created a lighting and energy education space within the Savant Experience Centre to provide integrators and their clients with a firsthand look at wellness, lighting and energy automation features for enhanced lighting.
“The tremendous technology advances in lighting allow for control and automation companies like Savant to deliver dynamic lighting control far beyond the traditional on/off commands,” said Angela Larson, sr. vice president of customer operations at Savant.
“Integrators, as technology consultants to the home, can now differentiate their proposals by offering wellness as a fundamental component of the Savant intelligent home.”
Bonnie Littman, president and CEO of USAI Lighting added: “The combination of Savant and USAI Lighting’s advanced controls and lighting technology provides an intuitive way for homeowners to experience the power of personalised lighting – light that is as dynamic and ever-changing as we are.
“For the first time ever, homeowners can curate their lighting for any activity, whether it’s for better living, working or playing, and we are thrilled to partner with Savant, bringing this experience to the market in a high-quality and meaningful way.”
