Light that heals. Light that protects. Light that brings peace.
Lumega designs circadian lighting solutions for hospitals, nursing homes, psychiatric facilities, and prisons—based on documented research into the effects of light on human sleep, well-being, and healing.
Stories from the departments
A patient with dementia sleeps through the night for the first time in months. A psychiatric ward experiences fewer conflicts with staff. An intensive care patient is discharged two days earlier than planned. These are not coincidences. It is light—used correctly.
For over five years, Lumega has been helping Danish and Nordic regions implement circadian lighting in the most demanding environments. We bring the latest research into your building—tailored precisely to the needs of your patients and staff.
How light affects the body
Our internal clock—the circadian rhythm—is regulated by light via the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the brain. Incorrect lighting disrupts this clock. Proper lighting supports it.
☀️ Morning (5,000K–10,500K) Cool, blue light suppresses melatonin and increases cortisol. Boosts alertness, concentration, and energy.
🌤️ Day (3,000K–5,000K) Neutral, productive light supports focus and well-being for both patients and staff.
🌙 Evening/Night (1,800K–2,700K) Warm light signals rest—prepares the body for sleep and reduces nighttime restlessness.
Results: Better sleep · Reduced medication use · Faster healing · Lower stress levels
Specialized solutions for demanding environments
1. NURSING HOME & DEMENTIA UNIT
People with dementia gradually lose the ability to regulate their circadian rhythm. This leads to nighttime wandering, anxiety, and an increased need for medication. Lumega’s circadian solution:
✓ Simulates natural daylight throughout the day
✓ Reduces nighttime wandering and restlessness
✓ Reduces anxiety and agitation
✓ Proven reduction in medication use
✓ Improves sleep quality — for patients and staff
2. PSYCHIATRY & THE CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM
In environments where mental health and safety are critical, lighting has a direct, measurable effect on behavior. Lumega’s solution:
✓ Baker-Miller Pink wavelengths reduce aggression and create a calmer atmosphere
✓ Tunable white (1,800K–6,500K) stabilizes mood and circadian rhythm
✓ RGBWWA lighting for dynamic lighting settings
✓ Blue-free night light improves sleep without disrupting melatonin production
3. HOSPITALS & INTENSIVE CARE UNITS
Patients recovering from surgery or serious illness are directly affected by lighting conditions. Lumega's solution:
✓ Reduces patient stress and anxiety
✓ Improves visibility for medical staff
✓ Promotes faster healing through optimized lighting conditions
✓ Ergonomic lighting is standard in Scandinavian operating rooms
✓ Full integration with DALI-2, Casambi, and KNX
Evidence-based

The discovery of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) by Berson, Dunn, and Takao in 2002 fundamentally changed our understanding of how light interacts with human physiology beyond vision. Unlike rods and cones, ipRGCs express the photopigment melanopsin, with a peak spectral sensitivity at approximately 480 nm—firmly situated in the short-wavelength blue region.

Modern phosphor-converted white LEDs—the technology underlying nearly all commercial LED fixtures—are manufactured by combining a blue InGaN die with a yellow phosphor layer. The phosphor converts part of the blue light emission into broad-spectrum yellow light. This combination produces the appearance of white light.
The fundamental problem is… Read more via the link.

Lumega’s manufacturing capabilities extend beyond its range of phosphor-converted white LEDs. We design luminaire spectral output using multi-channel LED arrays that enable clinical-grade SPD control across the entire visible spectrum… Read more below to learn about the full range.
Renovation with AI-Optimized LED Inserts
By using our advanced AI model, Lumega is the only company in the world that can scan existing luminaires and produce perfectly customized LED inserts. This revolutionizes renovation projects where we reduce carbon footprint, minimize material waste and optimize lighting performance.
With this method, old fluorescent tubes can be replaced with modern LED inserts without changing the luminaire design - a sustainable and cost-effective solution. But the solution doesn't stop there! Older LED luminaires can also be upgraded to avoid inefficient lighting and instead get the latest technology with higher energy efficiency, better light quality and longer lifetime.
Our AI-optimized LED inserts are designed to fit 100% precisely into existing luminaires, ensuring quick and easy installation, often in under 15 minutes. This makes it the fastest and most efficient way to renovate lighting in offices, hospitals, schools, industry and retail.
Whether it's older fluorescent tubes or outdated LED solutions, Lumega can create future-proof lighting that meets the latest requirements for energy efficiency, glare control (UGR) and intelligent lighting control. With the ability to integrate DALI-2, Casambi, KNX and other smart lighting systems, we ensure that lighting becomes user-friendly and flexible in any installation.

Over the past 5 years, we have helped a number of regions. Being prescribed or in special cases delivering as a contractor delivery depends on the project. Lumega is ready with a large backpack of knowledge and research studies with evidence of the impact of good lighting for the healthcare sector. Contact us for a preliminary talk about the possibilities.

If you are facing a project in the Prison and Probation Service, the military, psychiatry, hospital or nursing home, Lumega is ready to help. Whether it is a renovation project or new luminaires can be assessed by a non-binding inspection. Initially, a phone or team meeting can be booked for a closer dialog about the possibilities.

This is a direct question that is difficult to answer without further background knowledge, but the short answer would be: The use of RGBWWA, i.e. red, green, blue, blue, white, warm white, yellowish is used for processing and thus works in a more intense range than dynamic white lighting, which only consists of changes in the white light color. Here it will typically be 2700K-6500K or lower levels with multiple channels. Please contact us for a 15-minute team or phone call to discuss the possibilities in an exciting area.

Ergonomic lighting is designed to improve visual comfort, physical well-being and psychological balance by optimizing lighting conditions in work environments, especially where screen work and precision tasks are part of everyday life. By dividing the space into colored and white light zones, each with a specific function, ergonomic lighting creates a more efficient and comfortable working environment. This innovative lighting solution is now standard in hospitals in Scandinavia, and more newly built hospitals are choosing to implement ergonomic lighting in all operating rooms.
