2. Seeing - the visual effect
Light makes it possible to perceive the environment with the eyes. Visual ability and Recognizability are the central elements of visual lighting effect.

Light has a biological effect and controls the circadian rhythm. Blue-white light promotes the release of the happiness hormone serotonin and has an activating effect. Warm white light enables the release of the sleep hormone melatonin and has a calming effect. calming. High-quality lamps change dynamically and imitate natural daylight. Like the sun, the light color changes throughout the day from cool white light to warm white Light.
Light deficiency or incorrect light phases send the body signals that do not correspond to the biological rhythm. The body comes thereby from the equilibrium and becomes susceptible for Diseases and depressions. The positive effects of light therapy are scientifically well proven.
