Definition of “Dynamic White”
Changes of colour (Colour temperature)
Strength of light (Intensity) Changes of brightness (Dimming)
Rhythm of light (flash)
Movement of light (dynamics)
Within specific colour temperature, which is generally percieved as “White”… By changing the brightness with dimming system, we control the intensity… … within these changes, time is consumed… that creates rhythm even hardly notable… A combination of the above creates light dynamics, appear to be light movements in human eyes
Light intensity
Light Intensity
Light intensity is how we regconise time. During a day, skylight evolves its itself by dimming up & down, that triggers our daily activity & control our regconition of a day. Human had been depending strongly on daylight to seize time for activities. The intensity of daylight master our daliy rhythm.
Light Intensity Light intensity & the Sun
The closer the angle the sun strikes the earth are to 90 degrees, the more energy is received. Meanwhile there are factors that affect the intensity of light: - latitude of location - altitude of location - air pollution - cloud cover

Light Intensity Light intensity & Human response
Under cloudy sky, skylight intensity drops, we mostly feel inactive & moody.
Light Intensity Light intensity & Human response
All in a sudden when the clouds are gone, skylight intensity increases in a sharp pitch. What we feel is we focus again & tireness removes.
Light Intensity Light intensity & Proven facts
Light influence on specific biochemical processes within our body. Our nerve and endocrine “translates” light stimulating messages for the nerve system. Depending on its intensity, light can either have an activating or a calming effect. This explains why most of us feel lively and fresh during a sunny day and rather tired during a cloudy day. It also why our biological clock is closely connected to the daily cycle of day and night, or why some people experience seasonal mood variations. Closed rooms, such as examination rooms and those used for medical interventions, mostly lack adequate stimulating light putting both patients and health care professionals into a kind of “biological darkness”.
Light Intensity Light intensity & control
By understanding how human response to light intensity, we can master the quality of a defined space, for example we can: -Brighten up a room in dark winter days to Lift up moods -Sustain high light intensity period to Increase productivity -Extend lights-on hours to Allow longer shopping hours -Lower light intensity to Decrease level of tense -Practise different light intensity in a defined space to separate areas of focus
Optimising the light intensity control can uplift our living quality definitely.
Colour Temperature
Colour Temperature
“The truth is, that color affects us physiologically as well as emotionally.� Angela Wright, British color psychologist
The effect of colors Colors have an impact that by far exceeds purely aesthetic concerns. Since colors stimulate our nervous system, they are able to influence mood and provoke reactions. The use of color can be exploited to make an environment less intimidating, and situations or procedures to become less anxiety-provoking. Less anxiety and a more positive mood may translate into a better physical state for better & faster recovery.
Colour Temperature Colour temperature & Emotional response
Green is the most reassuring color. It creates a feeling of stability , but only when used in soft tones.
Orange is a strong stimulus. It is very sensual, but also contributes to activity.
Red symbolizes activity and passion; it can also stimulate appetite. Pink is the color of feminity and has a physically soothing effect. Purple can provoke a feeling of spirituality, but may be perceived very differently – positively or negatively – by different people.
Blue has a mentally calming effect and serves perfectly to sooth anxiety, especially when warmer tones of blue are used.
Colour Temperature What is Colour temperature As colour is closely linked to mood that causes psychological reaction, color temperature of light is critical.
Higher color temperatures (e.g. 5000K or above) are perceived as “cool” (blue and green tones)
Lower color temperatures (e.g. 2700-3000K) appear to be “warm” (yellow and red tones)

Importance of Dynamic White
Our bodies are affected by the rhythm of night and day. The dynamics of daylight sets our biological clock and influences our sense of well-being. Dynamic Lighting makes us feel good by bringing those dynamics indoors. People can control their own space according to their needs, mood and task, creating exactly the right atmosphere to improve performance and motivation.
Importance of Dynamic White
Bringing the benefits of daylight indoors The rhythm of day and night, the seasons and the weather create ever-changing light scenarios during the day. Dynamic Lighting is an advanced solution that brings the dynamics of daylight indoors. It creates a stimulating, ‘natural’ light that enhances people’s sense of well-being.

Colour temperature for Dynamic White
The making of Dynamic White The change of colour temperature and light intensity is achieved by mixing the light output of two different lamps using dedicated optic technology. One lamp has a colour temperature of 2600 K (warm white) and the other 5600 K (cool white). Changing the light output of the lamps means the colour temperature can vary seamlessly between these two values.

Dynamic office lighting Biologically effective, dynamic office lighting ensures that employees feel more alert and are more productive, especially in areas of a room or building that are not served well by daylight. That is the finding of a current study in an open plan office, in which employees performed four-week work stints in different lighting atmospheres.
Dynamic office lighting: Taking a leaf from nature, light colour, illuminance and direction of light change over the course of the day. In the morning, they are set to promote concentrated work.
In the early afternoon, higher illuminance helps counteract the performance.
In the late afternoon, a warm light colour and low illuminance eases the transition from work to leisure at the end of the day.
Applications Dynamic white lighting in offices Lighting atmosphere over the course of the day -luminaires providing both direct and indirect lighting -control lighting -standard-compliant 500 lux illuminance -colour temperature of 4,000 kelvin -direction of light changed dynamically during the course of the day. (Like sunlight, the light radiated by the system was direct in the morning, became more diffuse at midday and then increasingly direct again in the afternoon.) -3,000 kelvin warm -indirect luminaires -8,000 kelvin cold white -energising light in the morning -warm, subdued light in the evening -At the time human performance slumps in the early afternoon, the illuminance surged to as much as 1,000 lux. Between 1.15 and 2.45 p.m., the colour temperature also rose – to around 8,000 Kelvin –
Applications Dynamic white lighting in offices
CASE RESULT -Employees feel better and more alert -subjective impressions of participants -biologically effective lighting has a positive effect. -Office are measuably more productive. -Higher illuminance at certain points and dynamically changing colour temperatures impact positively on concentration, continuously throughout the day.
Applications Dynamic white lighting in hospitals
Applications Dynamic white lighting in hospitals
“Every hospital is the same. I think there is one architect that designs all of them and just spews out the same design each time. They all have an over abundance over fluorescent lighting around every corner. Desaturated and sterile colours that make me feel uncomfortable They feel like places where you will be a test subject. There is no personality because of the lack of colour and the blandness of it all. The lighting is irritating and and bright keeping you on constant alert.�

ChromaWhite is dynamic, colour tuneable and controllable to simulate the qualities of daylight and conventional light sources. It represents a revolution from the on/off fixed colour lamps of today.
Creating Dynamic White light Method 6: OLED, the future of Dynamic White lighting
OLED, colour changing by voltage Scientists create OLED lighting panels that can change color temperature to match sunlight throughout the day Scientists from the National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan, designed an OLED that can display color temperatures between 2300K and 8200K - covering the entire range of sunlight during the day. The color temperature is controlled using different voltage. That's the first time this has been achieved - and no other light source can have that kind of color range. They used fluorescent OLEDs, but plan to switch to phosphorescent, to make it more efficient.
