Mood lighting
A study conducted in German and Dutch hospitals discovered that the use of a mood light in patients’ rooms increased the quality of their sleep and decreased stress levels.
The colour of the light simulated natural light at that time of day and helped patients to maintain the circadian rhythms.
The mood lighting is not only used in medical settings: it is already used by airlines in passenger cabins (ex: Etihad airways).
Mood lighting is becoming a valuable tool in intimidating environments where people have limited control (aircraft, hospitals, etc.).
