A corner of GILE Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition: Where has human health lighting come?

Human health lighting, a lighting concept that aims to deeply integrate the lighting environment with the human body's circadian rhythm, visual comfort and psychological well-being, began to attract attention a few years ago. However, although the proof of concept is relatively mature, due to cost premiums, imperfect industrial ecosystems, insufficient consumer awareness and understanding, lack of standard systems and interoperability issues, and complexity of implementation, it is faltering on the road to market popularization, showing a situation of "fullness of ideals and skinny reality."

In view of this, despite the active promotion of relevant manufacturers in recent years, human health lighting products have been slow to be rolled out in the broad consumer market. However, it can be seen from the recently held Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition that the upstream and downstream of the LED lighting industry chain are using technological innovation and combining online and offline channels to open the door to the human health lighting market.

"Lighting Asia Tour" was launched to help break the human factor lighting market

On the occasion of its 30th anniversary, GILE has created a series of annual activities "Lighting Life Scenario Laboratory", aiming to promote in-depth cooperation within the industry and jointly promote breakthroughs and application innovations in key technologies.

The "Light Scene Laboratory" consists of six theme laboratories, focusing on exploring the dynamic interaction between light, space and people. Among them, the Health Laboratory focuses on five major trends: healthy "light formula", emotional spectrum lighting, spectrum control, health data measurement, and aging-friendly lighting, and focuses on human factors lighting-related solutions, deepening the audience's knowledge and understanding of healthy light.

In addition, GILE also teamed up with Guangzhou Aladdin IoT Network to jointly launch the "Light Asia Travel" series of annual activities. The core goal of "Light Asia" is to focus on developing cutting-edge solutions to improve user experience and promote close cooperation between upstream and downstream stakeholders in the industry chain. It is expected to help solve key problems in the promotion of human-centered lighting, such as insufficient technology display, vague concept value, and lack of brand trust.

For areas such as human health lighting that involve multi-technology integration and complex value chains, simple product display is no longer enough to drive the market, and a platform that can integrate resources, collaborate on innovation, and cultivate an ecosystem is needed. In view of this, GILE has established a "Lighting Life Scene Laboratory" and launched the "Light Asia Bank" activity.

In fact, the exhibition itself has listed "healthy lighting" as a specialized product category, and plans to continue to hold activities nationwide after the exhibition. The purpose is to integrate innovative lighting solutions into actual application scenarios and transform the short-term effects of the exhibition into long-term driving force for industrial development. It can be seen that in the future, driven by various forces, the human health lighting market is expected to break through.

Driven by user demand, the upstream and downstream of the human factors lighting industry chain work together to open up the market

Just as the evolution of technological paradigms ultimately needs to adapt to market demands, the development of human-centered lighting must also be based on user value. At the 2025 GILE exhibition, the Lighting Life Theme Pavilion in Hall 6.1 and the JD Vanjia Lighting-Lighting Transformation Plan Exhibition Area demonstrated the gradual improvement of the ecology of the human health lighting industry chain. From upstream LED light source technology, to midstream lamp design and intelligent control modules, to downstream solution integration and scenario-based applications, the entire supply chain is deeply integrated around user needs, integrating advanced LED lighting technology, intelligent sensing, and complex algorithm software, working together to bring healthy, intelligent, and personalized lighting experiences to thousands of households.

In the Light Life Theme Pavilion, BridgeLux has set up a wellness lighting experimental space, displaying the Thrive Tripple CCCT3838 dimmable product, which adopts the newly upgraded Thrive? natural spectrum technology. Through the collaborative optimization of proprietary wide-wave blue LED chips, innovative phosphor formulas and packaging processes, it achieves a spectral distribution closer to natural light, simulates the solar spectrum and reduces blue light hazards, creating a low blue light, healthy and comfortable rhythmic lighting environment.

Sanxiong Aurora has been focusing on light health and applications for 34 years. Its product applications cover all scenarios such as business, home, education, medical and health care. This time it has set up an office lighting experimental space in the light life theme museum. By combining dynamic, full-spectrum rhythmic lighting fixtures and intelligent sensing technology, it can better meet the needs of contemporary offices for a healthy working environment and improve employee efficiency.

Delos Welltek links light with five-sense algorithms and WELL standard thresholds to create a healthy and intelligent living environment. In the complete set of solutions it provides, light sensor components can accurately measure key optical parameters such as illuminance, CCT, color coordinates, EML, M-EDI and flicker index, while evaluating the quality of light to ensure visual comfort and circadian rhythm, providing users with a healthy and comfortable lighting environment.

Philips, a subsidiary of Signify, provides lighting solutions for the special visual and non-visual needs of the elderly in the "Aging-friendly Lighting Room" in the JD.com exhibition area. The products use three models of the Anrui series of aging-friendly lighting products, which feature customized light formulas, intelligent out-of-bed sensing, radar-assisted TOF sensing technology, fall auxiliary monitoring, voice intelligent control and other technologies to provide customized light environment solutions for specific groups of people to improve their quality of life and safety.

In the "Smart Renewal Living Room" in the JD.com exhibition area, Panasonic Lighting showcases integrated intelligent lighting solutions in residential spaces, such as full-spectrum ceiling lamps, which realize whole-house linkage through the Mijia intelligent ecosystem, improving the comfort, convenience and intelligence level of home life. By creating a multi-functional and adaptable living room light environment, it can meet the different activity needs of family members.

In the "Healthy Eye Protection Children's Room" in the JD.com exhibition area, Ridarson focuses on lighting solutions to protect children's vision. Targeting the special needs of children's visual health, it provides professional eye protection lighting products such as eye protection table lamps, eye protection street lamps, and eye protection ceiling lamps. It integrates technologies such as high color rendering index, low blue light hazard, no stroboscopic, and appropriate brightness for learning and playing to create a healthier light environment for children's growth.

In the "Ambience Aesthetic Bedroom" in the JD.com exhibition area, German Berman emphasized the role of lighting in creating mood and atmosphere, and displayed bedroom eye protection products such as maternal and infant ceiling lamps and floor lamps, which promote relaxation and improve sleep quality through light and shadow adjustment. It is reported that maternal and infant ceiling lamps attracted much attention during the exhibition, and many visitors expressed a high willingness to purchase.
