Human-centered lighting (HCL) emerges as a technological revolution designed to harmonize physical and mental well-being with occupational and energy efficiency in different spaces.
This advanced lighting approach not only helps improve sleep quality through precise color temperature (CCT) and light spectrum management, but also promotes productivity and visual comfort through the use of automated lighting systems.
Mental health and productivity
Human-Centered Lighting (HCL) synchronizes your systems with the circadian rhythm, employing specific proportions of light that support an ideal work environment and promote balanced mental health. By mimicking the transition of natural light from dawn to dusk, HCL creates an adaptive lighting environment that meets personal preferences, enhancing concentration and emotional well-being.
Circadian rhythm
The circadian rhythm is an internal 24-hour biological cycle that regulates a wide range of physiological processes in living organisms, including sleep, wakefulness, hormone production, body temperature and metabolism.
This rhythm is essential for maintaining health and well-being, as it ensures that bodily processes are synchronized with the natural light and dark cycles of the environment.
Exposure to light plays an important role in regulating the circadian rhythm, directly influencing the production of melatonin, the hormone that promotes sleep, and thus affecting our ability to sleep well at night and remain alert during the day.
Energy efficiency and sustainability
An essential pillar of HCL is its contribution to energy efficiency, achieved through the implementation of technologies that enable intelligent lighting control. This not only reduces energy consumption, but also promotes sustainable resource management.
State-of-the-art HCL lighting has found significant applications in the healthcare sector, where lighting precision has a significant impact on the well-being and recovery of patients.
HCL in smart urban planning
In the urban context, HCL plays a key role in improving safety and quality of life through smart lighting for cities. Equipped with sensor and automation technology, lighting systems adjust their operation to optimize lighting conditions according to environmental and human needs, making urban spaces more livable and energy efficient.
A brighter future
Human-centered lighting represents a holistic approach to optimizing living and working spaces. Emphasizing improved sleep quality, increased productivity, mental well-being, visual comfort and energy efficiency, HCL establishes itself as a leader in lighting solutions of the future, setting the pace for a healthier and more sustainable society.

HCLa & Plant
Human activation and plant growth
The Spectrum HCL & Plant from Actilum Spectrum is designed for shared spaces between people and living plantswhere lighting must simultaneously respond to human biological human biological needs and to the lighting requirements of the vegetation..
Its continuous spectral composition, comprised between 380 and 380 and 780 nanometersprovides a balanced and balanced and natural lightoptimized for daily tasks and activities in environments such as offices, gymnasiums or offices, gymnasiums or educational centerswithout neglecting the vitality of the plants present in the environment.
Offices and workspaces with integrated vegetation
It promotes productivity and visual comfort while maintaining plant growth.
Educational centers and gymnasiums
Improves daytime activation and performance, accompanying the natural biological rhythm.
Commercial and wellness spaces
It creates a lively, neutral and healthy lighting that enhances the perception of freshness and naturalness.
Light that activates, balances and sustains life
Based on the principles of human-centered lighting (HCL), this spectrum integrates specific wavelengths that contribute to alertness, concentration and visual well-being, emulating the luminous quality of daylight.
In turn, it contains a deep red peak at around 660 nm, which provides a direct signal to stimulate growth and photosynthesis in ornamental or functional plant species, and above all does not modify the chromatic perception of the environment.
With a color perception of 4500K and a real temperature of 5000 K, CRI 90 and an R9 50 %, the HCL & Planta spectrum offers a high visual quality light, capable of faithfully reproducing the colors and textures of the materials, maintaining a comfortable environment for both people and plants.
Thanks to its dual spectral design, Actilum Spectrum HCL & Planta provides light that activates humans and stimulates plant life, achieving a harmonious balance between functionality, aesthetics and biology.
Circadian
The light that follows the natural rhythm of life
Actilum Spectrum ‘s Circadian spectrum is designed to synchronize artificial lighting with human biological rhythms, reproducing the natural evolution of sunlight throughout the day.
Through dynamic regulation of light power and spectral composition, this system adapts light and energy to the time of day and activity, promoting well-being, concentration and rest according to each phase of the human circadian cycle.
A spectrum that adapts to the body and the environment
The Circadian spectrum spans the visible range from 400 to 800 nanometers and adjusts the energy ratio throughout the day.
During the morning, the blue-turquoise zone (≈480 nm) predominates , which stimulates attention and suppresses melatonin secretion, helping the body to activate and concentrate.
As the day progresses, the system gradually shifts the energy towards amber and red (590-700 nm), decreasing blues and turquoise, generating a warmer light that invites relaxation and prepares the body for rest.
This continuous transition, as perceived by the human eye with a color temperature varying between 2700 K and 7000 K, mimics the natural behavior of daylight, avoiding sharp contrasts and ensuring a smooth and biologically coherent visual experience.
Unlike Tunable White systems, which only modify the color temperature between warm and cool light, Actilum Spectrum’s circadian technology acts on the entire spectral composition and its temporal programming.
Technology inspired by nature
Actilum’s circadian system employs intelligent dimming and automated time control to adjust the correct intensity and spectrum according to the time of day or use of the space.
The result is dynamic and healthy lighting, capable of positively influencing people’s mood, productivity and rest.
This same principle is successfully applied in hospitals, offices, educational facilities and smart homes, where adaptive light helps to improve visual comfort, reduce fatigue and enhance overall well-being.
Light as applied biology
Instead of a static source, Actilum Spectrum Circadiano acts as a living system: it evolves during the day to accompany our natural cycles.
A light that not only illuminates, but also connects with human physiology, regulating energy and calm, clarity and rest.
Fruits
LED spectrum for flowering and fruiting
In flower and fruit oriented crops (ornamentals, berries, tomato/peppers, technical plants), the challenge is not only to “grow”: it is to activate flowering, improve fruit set and achieve uniform ripening without losing morphological control.
“In flowering and fruiting, the spectrum is not a detail: it defines whether the plant flowers on time, sets well and ripens homogeneously, or whether it decompensates and loses quality.”
This is where Actilum Spectrum Bio+Frut (Fruits) comes in : a spectrum formulated for reproductive phases, combining dominant red and controlled far-red with a high blue peak to maintain structure. The graph shows a sharp blue peak (~450 nm), a moderate cyan-green band (≈490-540 nm), a strategic valley (≈560-600 nm), a red-dominant plateau (≈630-680 nm) and a far-red tail (≈700-750 nm).
What Bio+Frut achieves
- Faster and more uniform flowering (more synchronized opening).
- Better fruit set and less variability between plants/zone.
- More homogeneous ripening and more predictable cycles.
- Better coloration and presence in flower/fruit, with more controlled structure.
- Best basis for automating by intensity/programming and sustaining a constant standard.
Bio+Frut spectrum reading (by regions)
- Blue peak (≈ 440-460 nm, very high): morphological control (less unwanted elongation) and quality/structure support in reproductive phase.
- Cyan-green band (≈ 490-540 nm, moderate): aids canopy penetration and more uniform distribution in dense crops.
- Valley (≈ 560-600 nm): technical decision to concentrate energy in more effective bands to induce and sustain flower/fruit.
- Red dominant (≈ 630-680 nm): core of the reproductive recipe: pushes yield and reinforces signals associated with flowering and development.
- Far-red (≈ 700-750 nm, controlled): fine-tuning of the bearing and phytochromatic signal to support flowering/ripening without turning the crop into “shade response”.
Flowers
Starts flowering around 21-28 days.
It can reach its first flowering between 21 and 28 days.
Flowers may appear in about 25-28 days under optimal conditions.
First flowers visible after 25-28 days.
Fruits
First bloom visible after about 28 days.
Flower formation under controlled conditions at about 28 days.
Consumption in about 21-28 days.
Consumption in about 30 days.
*In this range of 14 to 28 days, it is not common for fruiting crops to complete their cycle, as these generally require more time. However, some plants may show initial signs of flowering or small fruit formation in hydroponic systems under LED light.
Greenhouse Spectrum
Physiological stability and plant response to low irradiation
In covered agricultural systems, useful solar radiation is altered by multiple factors: cloud cover, season, greenhouse geometry or structural orientation. This causes a significant reduction in the quantity and quality of the spectral signal that plants use as a stimulus to activate vital processes such as photosynthesis, flowering or biomass production.
When this signal is not adequately compensated, crops may show irregular blooms, excessive elongation, lower yields or a drop in morphological uniformity.
The Greenhouse spectrum should not be understood as illumination, but as an active radiation system designed to supply or reinforce stimuli that the plant interprets and uses. This spectrum has been designed to act as a technical complement on cloudy days, low radiation seasons or high density cultivation systems.
660 nm (Deep Red)
Activates key photosynthetic and metabolic pathways in biomass accumulation and flowering.
730 nm (Far Red)
Modulates photomorphogenic responses (elongation, branching) and synchronizes the development cycle.
≈ 450 nm (Blue)
Regulates photoperiod, avoids unwanted elongation and stimulates shaded areas.
Stable green-yellow
Provides spectral continuity to maintain physiological balance.
The result is a continuous curve between 400 and 800 nm that does not illuminate, but rather selectively irradiates to sustain plant performance under less than ideal conditions.
The Greenhouse spectrum allows
- Constant and homogeneous production, even with low natural radiation.
- Stimulation of flowering and fruiting, maintaining synchrony between specimens.
- Increased biomass, without light stress.
- Activation of lower zones in dense crops (undercanopy effect).
- Maintenance of physiological balance, key in intensive professional agriculture.

Green Leaf
Spectrum for vegetative crops (leaves and stems)
Due to their demand and rotation, green leaf crops (baby leaf, lettuce, spinach, arugula, aromatic) are increasingly produced in indoor/vertical farming, where light defines three things at the same time: density, structure (firm stem and full-bodied leaf) and lot uniformity.
“In green leaf, the spectrum is not a detail: it defines whether the plant comes out compact, dense and uniform, or whether it spikes and loses quality.”
This is where Actilum Spectrum BioVeg (Green Leaf) comes in: a spectrum formulated for vegetative stages and homogeneous tray-to-tray production, combining peaks and bands that push photosynthesis, structure and canopy penetration. The graph shows a sharp blue peak, a broad band 500-620 nm, a red block 620-680 nm and a soft far-red tail 700-750 nm.
What BioVeg achieves in green leaf
- More compaction and structure (less gleaning).
- Denser leaves with better “body” (thickness and presence).
- More uniform production by improving light reaching the inner layers of the crop.
- Faster growth while maintaining quality: the combination of homogeneity + spectrum can accelerate the cycle by up to 20%.
- Best basis for automating by intensity/programming and sustaining a constant standard.
BioVeg spectrum reading (by region)
- Blue peak (≈ 440-460 nm, very high): drives structure and compaction; firmer leaf and gleaning control.
- Green-cyan band (≈ 500-600 nm, sustained): improves canopy penetration and homogeneity in dense trays.
- Red block (≈ 620-680 nm, high and stable): enhances photosynthetic efficiency and vegetative growth.
- Far-red tail (≈ 700-750 nm, soft): fine tuning of bearing; controlled presence so as not to induce elongation.
Baby leaves available in about 21-28 days.
Leaves ready in about 18-21 days.
Edible leaves in about 18-25 days.
Leaves ready for harvest in about 20-25 days.
Spicy leaves ready in 21-25 days.

Microgreen
Boost growth with Actilum LED luminaires
Due to their high nutritional value, the cultivation of microgreens has gained popularity in recent years. These microgreens are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, with a high content of vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene. In addition to their common use in cooking, microgreens are also processed into powders, capsules, liquid extracts and fortified food products.
“These small sprouts, harvested in their early stages of development, require advanced light spectrum conditions to achieve the objectives for the above uses.”
This is where Actilum’s LED luminaires and Luxpanel panels, designed with specific spectra for horticultural applications, take center stage.
Our experience
“At Actilum, we have spent several years researching and developing lighting solutions for cultivation. This experience has allowed us to design led combinations for the production of LED strips, Luxpanel panels and complete bars that offer an optimized light spectrum for microgreens cultivation.”
The unique combination of lights not only favors the growth of green leaves, edible flowers but is also ideal for a wide variety of ornamental plants.
Optimized light spectrum and its benefits for microgreens
The light spectrum provided by our LED luminaires is carefully calibrated to meet the specific needs of plants in their early stages.
This application promotes efficient photosynthesis, ensuring that micro sprouts receive the exact amount of light they need to develop vibrant colors, intense flavors and high nutrients.
In addition, our lighting solutions guarantee homogeneity in production, which is extremely important to maintain a continuous quality standard, making it possible to automate by Dimming to OFF and thus lower energy consumption.
This is an example of one of our spectra showing the distribution of light intensity as a function of wavelength, including the cultivation of microgreens.
Let’s analyze it in detail:
Peak in the blue region (around 450 nm): Blue light is critical for photosynthesis as it helps promote vegetative growth. This peak indicates that Actilum luminaires are designed to provide sufficient blue light to stimulate robust growth of microgreens.
Peak in the red region (around 650-700 nm): Red light is essential for flowering and fruit development, but in the case of microgreens, it is also important for photosynthesis and general growth. This peak ensures that plants receive the red light needed to complement the effect of the blue light.
The spectrum between 700 nm and 800 nm, known as infrared light, has a significant influence on the development of micro-stems. Infrared light helps promote controlled elongation of their stems. This is essential to ensure that they reach a suitable height for harvesting, facilitating better light exposure and optimizing their development. Infrared light also contributes to the regulation of other growth processes, improving the quality and uniformity of micro shoots, which is important for marketing and consumption.
Intermediate region (500-600 nm) Although green and yellow light is not as effective in photosynthesis as blue and red light, it is important for balanced illumination and to ensure that plants grow uniformly. This spectrum shows a balanced distribution in this region, which contributes to homogeneous growth.
Color temperature (5300K) The color temperature of 5300K is in the cool white light range, which is beneficial for plant growth as it simulates natural daylight.
