Schyns Biologic Health Light
biodynamic lighting solutions in care facilities
Advice on this product Technical detailsThe room has a major influence on the patient's wellbeing and recovery. But it is light that truly defines the room and makes it tangible. Space and light are inseparably linked.
In doing so, light works not only visually but also emotionally and biologically: Human Centric Lighting (HCL) supports people's health, wellbeing and performance. Since the 1980s, the US researchers Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young have deciphered the mechanisms that control circadian rhythms. In 2017 they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Schyns Biologic Health Light – the extension of classic HCL developed specifically for the healthcare sector, with separately controllable blue components, high colour rendering, seamless daylight simulation and over 90 reference points per day – is available in many of Schyns' medical supply units and medical wall luminaires.
Application examples
The Effect of Light
Light has a noticeable effect on a person's vitality and health. The light of the sun is crucial for health and wellbeing – yet modern people spend most of their lives indoors.
To respond to this cultural shift towards an indoor society, every artificial lighting solution should match the characteristics of sunlight as closely as possible.
Numerous studies show that artificial light with unchanging properties such as light colour and light intensity has a negative effect on health, wellbeing and performance.
Over the course of a day, the intensity and spectrum (and thus also the colour temperature) of natural light change continuously. While the midday sun, with its invigorating blue tone, energises us, the evening sun calms us with a pleasantly warm, reddish hue. For people, their wellbeing and all the biological processes associated with it, natural daylight is the definitive reference.
Designing and Controlling Light
Over the course of the day, daylight changes its light colour, illuminance and light direction. An electronic, autonomous lighting control provides the desired dynamic lighting solution depending on the time of day. Here we deliver the complete service from a single source. All required control components come pre-installed and ready to connect in the medical supply units and are prepared, for example, for control via the nurse call system or external switches.

Our contribution to a more humane healthcare system
healing architecture for all senses
We design spaces that provide tangible support to staff and patients.
A modern patient environment must offer more than just functionality.
As part of interior design, we are responsible for ensuring that technical equipment and architectural atmosphere form a harmonious whole. This approach has guided us for many years – as Alphonse Schyns once said: A hospital does not have to look like a hospital. This idea continues to influence our work today. Our products are developed in collaboration with our customers. This direct exchange ensures that every solution works in the everyday environment of clinics and care facilities: clear, robust, hygienic, and well thought-out exactly where it matters most.
Our work follows the principles of healing architecture. We design spaces that provide tangible support to staff and patients, promote calm, and facilitate processes. This is not a fashionable concept, but an approach that has proven itself over decades.
The multisensory approach—healing architecture for all senses—is a central component of this. Light, acoustics, materials, haptics, and intuitive orientation are specifically coordinated to reduce stress, create clarity, and generate a tangibly soothing environment. This creates an atmosphere that is both professional and relaxing.
Our supply units fit seamlessly into this overall concept as an important component: ergonomic, hygienically designed, and durable. They support staff in their daily work and provide patients with safety and orientation.
This is how we combine technical precision, many years of experience, and a clear design philosophy—and consistently think ahead to the patient rooms of the future.
Over 1,250 options for your individual solution
Brochure as PDFThe bespoke concept offers an enormous variety of design options. Combining the numerous categories and options creates over 1,250 different variations - depending on which elements you select and how they are combined. This number shows the range of individual configurations that allows you to tailor your solution exactly to your needs.
