What is Sunlight?

The most comfortable light and beneficial light is the light from the nature. The world is now focusing on human centric lighting that mimics the natural light.​

sunlight image

Since the creation of the earth 4.5 billion years ago, humans have evolved along with sunlight.

As such, our DNA has evolved to be active during the day while the sun is shining and sleep in the dark at night after the sunset on a 24-hour day cycle. Under the sunlight, We release “serotonin” to feel energized under the sunlight during the day and “melatonin” to help us sleep soundly during the dark night. In fact, when more serotonin hormone is released by sunlight during the day, more melatonin secretion is activated during night, thereby making the 'sunlight' an essential component for generation of healthy biorhythm.

We spend more time under artificial light than we do in the natural light of the sun. For a healthy life, it's important to make good choices about the light we use throughout our daily live. The most comfortable and beneficial light for humans is the light that comes from nature. As such, the world is now focusing on human centric lighting that mimics natural light.

  • Human-Centric Lighting Human-centric lighting is a lighting technology that mimics natural light to stabilize human biorhythms and promote comfort, health and well-being, and is a new concept that emerged in the professional lighting industry.

What is SunLike?

SunLike reproduces a light spectrum that most closely resembles that of the natural light to provide light that is beneficial to humans.​

Prolonged exposure to general lighting with excessive blue light increases the level of eye and body fatigue, and disrupts biorhythm. SunLike reduces excessive blue light wavelengths and reproduces the natural light spectrum to the level that is same as that of the natural light.

Better Eye

Effective on the health of eyes for growing children and well as reduction of eye fatigue level.

Do you think myopia is hereditary? As the result of a survey conducted in 4 Asian countries, it was found that the rate of myopia in children has quadrupled in the last 50 years. In particular, Korea has the highest rate of manifestation of myopia in children in the world at 97%. As we spend more time indoors and less time outdoors, use smartphones increasingly more along with greater study loads, the risk of developing myopia is increasing.

Effect 02

Better Sleep

Enables comfortable rest and assists with sound sleep.

SunLike, a technology that reproduced the natural light spectrum, activates serotonin secretion during the day to maintain your state of alertness and melatonin secretion at night to help you sleep more soundly. It is possible to anticipate a wide range of benefits including improved ability to focus and attentiveness through sound sleep, and enhancement of immune function, which is activated while you sleep, etc.

Effect 03

Better Study

Increases the level of alertness and learning effect during the daytime.

Under the sunlight during the daytime activates the release of serotonin, a hormone that energizes the body and makes one feels better. Such action of sunlight has the effect of increasing the body metabolic rate and speeding up brain activity. When using SunLike, a light similar to the natural sunlight, students can feel energizing of their bodies and can expect to improve their learning efficiency by increasing their learning speed and accuracy due its effect on enhancing alertness.

Comfortable Ambient

SunLike establishes a comfortable environment in any space by providing light that mimics the natural light.

When it is used living rooms, children's rooms, inside the car, reading rooms, skincare centers, co-shared offices and other types of offices, etc., it is possible to establish environment that is comfortable in overall by lowering the eye fatigue and enabling return to one’s natural biorhythm by ensuring that there is no excessive glare.

Effect 05

Natural Color

Enables accurate representation the innate true colors of objects

Unlike viewing objects under the sunlight, ordinary indoor LED lighting causes the colors to appear distorted due to diffuse reflection arising from the effects of the blue light. SunLike enables reproduction of the color rendering index (CRI), which indicates the feel of the colors one sees, to a CRI-97 level that is almost identical to sunlight (CRI 100), allowing one to see the innate true colors even under artificial lighting. In addition, blue light, a specific wavelength band, has been reduced to that of the sunlight to not only help one to see texts more clearly, but also reduces glare and fatigue on the eyes.

Changes in Plant Cultivation Lighting

Plants grown under existing red and blue light combinations quickly wilt even from minor injuries and lack texture and nutrients. However, plants grown under SunLike, which replicates natural light, have excellent weight, taste, and texture, and are rich in nutrients, similar to naturally cultivated plants. Therefore, SunLike is used in plant cultivation farms worldwide, including the French National Research Institute.

Lighting for exhibitions in art museums

There are separate types of lightings to be used when restoring art. SunLike lighting has excellent color reproduction capability, thereby enabling you to select the most accurate colors.

SunLike reproduces the sun's light spectrum to illustrate the colors of objects as they actually are, and its high contrast ratio creates a sense of three-dimensionality to show the colors of an artwork exactly as you would see them under the sunlight. The Grevin Museum Paris, a French wax museum, chose SunLike due to its ability to illustrate the texture of costumes and natural skin expressions, which is difficult to achieve with ordinary lighting. In addition, SunLike has been applied in large museums in the world including illumination of wall murals in Pompeii, Italy and the Royal Palace Art Museum in Milan, etc.
