Eco-Center Supplied with Seoul Semiconductor's SunLike Lighting Wins iF Design Award’s Main Award
ANSAN, South Korea--Seoul Semiconductor Co.,
Ltd. (KOSDAQ 046890), a global optical semiconductor company, announced that an
eco-center supplied with SunLike Lighting, a natural light lighting technology,
won the main prize in the product category of the International Forum (iF)
Design Award 2022.
The iF Design Awards,
which began in 1953 under the auspices of the German International Forum, is
considered one of the world's top three design awards along with the IDEA
Design Awards of the United States and the Red Dot Design Awards of
Germany. Each year, across nine categories of products, packages, and
interiors, award-winning works that have passed strict screening standards such
as ideas, differentiation, and influence are selected.
The award-winning eco-center
is the biOrb EARTH Vivarium of OASE GmbH, Germany. Vivarium refers to an eco-center
that creates the optimal environmental conditions for a particular creature to
live in for the purpose of observation or research. The award-winning vivarium
was highly praised for creating a perfect ecosystem of sunlight, soil, water,
and moisture suitable for amphibians and wetland flora and fauna, and was
selected as the winner of the main prize in the product category on that
account.
Seoul Semiconductor
supplied the SunLike technology that realizes natural light to this eco-
center. SunLike is a differentiated lighting technology that lowers blue wavelengths
that cause glare and insomnia to the same level as natural light, so it is not
only visually comfortable but also helps stabilize the circadian rhythm of
humans and even those of plants and animals as well.
“Amphibians are very
sensitive to light. They can lose their sight or have a higher chance of
causing mutations in artificial lighting, so the choice of lighting is more
important than anything else when building an eco-center,” said Lee Seong-jin, head
of lighting business at Seoul Semiconductor. "We are very pleased that OASE
Vivarium, which is supplied with SunLike lighting, won the award for its
technology and differentiation."
