What is BIOS SkyBlue?

A proprietary lighting solution created by BIOS, a NASA spinoff, to promote better sleep, better energy, and better health.

How does BIOS SkyBlue work?

According to research, efficient circadian lighting should have the “sky blue” (490 nm) wavelength that is present in daylight but absent from the majority of conventional LED lighting systems.

SkyBlue’s 490nm wavelength interfaces with human biology directly through the non-visual ipRGC photoreceptors in the eye (photosensitive retinal ganglion cells)

Melanopsin, a protein found in ipRGCs, signals the body to restart its 24-hour cycle when it is activated by light. This starts a number of metabolic processes, such as the generation of melatonin for a restful night’s sleep and cortisol for morning alertness.

BIOS Without sophisticated controls, energy-draining spikes in illumination, or uncomfortable variations in color temperature, SkyBlue optimizes this natural process. Regardless of CCT, BIOS outperforms conventional white LEDs in terms of melanopic content.BIOS surpasses traditional white LEDs in melanopic content, regardless of CC
