Smart lighting solutions from Infineon

Light influences the well-being of people, characterizes their day and night time rhythm and effects activity and the ability to concentrate.
People spend up to 90% of their work day indoors exposed to such static lighting. Improvements of over 30% in performance are achievable by replacing static lighting with Human Centric Lighting (HCL) systems.
During the day the colour temperature changes from warm, reddish 3000K in the morning, to a mid-day average of light 5500K to 6500K suppressing melatonin production and increasing the attention level back to warmer CCTs in the afternoon and back to relaxing 3000K during the evening hours causing melatonin production.

To implement an HCL System you can use Arduino based RGB Lighting Shield featured with XMC1202 microcontroller, which  is a member of the XMC1000 family of ARM® Cortex®- M0 microcontrollers in addition EBV developed a complete solution based on an office panel light that can be adjusted for the colour temperature and also controlled remotely using the popular Arduino board technology. This consists of a base controller board with additional peripherals, called shields, to add extra features. The wireless communication to the panel is done with Cypress Bluetooth Low Energy Pioneer Kit  (CY8CKIT-042-BLE).
