Without KUMUX
Software that simulates the sunlight indoors in an automatic way to improve people’s health and well-being.
Solutions
You can bring the sun indoors in any kind of smart building with KUMUX lighting control, which adapts light for each type of space. This way users receive the benefits of the sunlight and the energy consumption of the building is reduced.
Integrations
KUMUX Lighting Control can be included in any lighting control system, independently of the lamp manufacturer and control protocol.
KUMUX Simulator
How is KUMUX Lighting? Our simulator can show you how lighting settings are controlled automatically throughout the day by KUMUX software in your specific project. You can also check the benefits and savings, or even download your simulation report.
BENEFITS OF KUMUX HUMAN-CENTRIC LIGHTING
Health
Circadian lighting balances our internal clock to improve rest at night, boost our energy during the day and enhance our mood.
Productivity
Health is essential for good productivity, but proper light during working hours can also sharpen our senses and improve our attention and productivity. This has an important impact on business results.
Energy saving
Smart lighting regulation all day long, instead of fixed lighting, saves up to 20% of energy for lighting with a reduction of the energy bill.
Kumux lighting features
Automatic setting
No manual configuration of lighting parameters is needed by the user or installer. Only geolocation and activity have to be configured to enjoy an automatic lighting system that mimics natural light indoors at any date and any time.
Science-based
The software has been developed based on scientific data and research about sunlight characteristics worldwide and the effects of light on the human body and health.
Software only
KUMUX lighting algorithm is a software for smart buildings and it can be integrated into any lighting control system. Only tunable white is needed to adjust the light settings and simulate sunlight.
FAQs
What is Human-Centric Lighting? What is Circadian Lighting?
According to Lighting Europe's definition, Human-Centric Lighting is lighting that supports the health, well-being, and performance of humans by combining the visual, biological and emotional benefits of light.
Circadian lighting is a light that helps the natural cycle of physical, mental and behavioral changes that the body goes through in a 24-hour cycle, also known as circadian rhythm.
They are both based on the effects of light on the human body.
Is the KUMUX Circadian Lighting System easy to use?
KUMUX Circadian Lighting System is completely automatic. The user only has to enable/disable the circadian lighting regulation with a switch or button and light characteristics are dynamically changing along the day without any other interaction, bearing in mind their geolocation and activity. This improves the user experience since they do not need to select any complex lighting parameters (and understand their effects) and receive all the benefits of human-centric lighting without any additional effort.
Do I need any hardware or lighting fixture?
KUMUX Lighting is a software solution that can be integrated into any lighting control system in smart buildings. You only need tunable white lamps and KUMUX Lighting will regulate them in their color temperature and brightness range, to simulate the changing sunlight indoors.
Can KUMUX Human-Centric Lighting save energy and costs in the building?
With KUMUX Lighting, there could be a reduction of up to 20% in the energy consumption of the lighting system. However, the most important financial benefit of the solution is thanks to the impact of circadian lighting on people’s health. For example, when used in an office, the productivity of employees could rise by 4.5%. In a company with 500,000$ of payroll expenses, this could mean 22,500$ of savings. So both, energy savings and payroll savings would reduce the payback period of the control system for circadian lighting.
