Circadian rythm CCT

Circadian rythm CCT

Circadian rhythm lighting mimics natural daylight patterns to regulate the body's internal clock, promoting alertness during the day with bright, cool light and relaxation in the evening with warm, dim light. This helps maintain healthy sleep-wake cycles, mood, and overall well-being.

To enable this function at one point you will need to contact oour support team. This means that if you know that you will be commissioning a site it is recomended that you contact the support team and set a date.

Configuring Circadian Rhythm

Before you start configuring the WR access point please make sure that the version of this device is at least 79.022

Don't worry about the information regarding the synchronisation of the collator with timed events. There is a bug that causes the status of this parameter to display incorrectly

  • 24h Circadian Rythm

3000 kelvin overnight
Fading from 3000 to 4000 between 8.00am and midday
Increasing to 4500 kelvin between 1.00pm and 2.00pm
Fading back to 3000 kelvin between 4.00pm and 6.00pm

  • 12h Circadian Rythm

As above, but the same cycle is also repeated between 8.00pm and 6.00am for night shift workers.

While commissioning you can test if Circadian works by selecting Timed event as 1 (DT8 Demo). It will execute whole circadian cycle in 10 minutes.

After performing all these actions please contact LMS support (lms.support@glamox.com) with request for enabling this feature. In email please include the serial ID of the virtual scene controller.

Time zone in a collator

By default, the WR access point is set to the UK time zone. If you are in a different time zone you will need to contact lms support to set the correct zone otherwise circadian rythm and the scheduler will operate according to the wrong time zone
