Human Centric Lighting is lighting specifically designed to produce a beneficial physiological and/or psychological effect upon humans. White LED lighting solutions are adapting the light color and intensity during the course of the day, so indoor lighting is similar to that outside. These products are named tunable white LED lighting solutions.

Human Centric Lighting (HCL) supports human health, well-being and performance by implementing the light system according to the desired visual, emotional and especially biological effects of light.

The main focus of Human Centric Lighting is to be focused on people's needs for their living, leisure and working environment, by taking in account the effects of natural light, a dynamic source with changing tone and brightness, as a day goes by and seasons change. 

To implement an adequate Human Centric Lighting a combination of white LED light sources is used, usually warm white (2700K) and cold white (6500K). This is Tunable White lighting.

By adjusting the intensity of each, bright or dim white light with a hue between 2700K and 6500K can be obtained.
