The solar spectrum is the breakdown of sunlight into different wavelengths, ranging from infrared to ultraviolet light, seen as a rainbow of colors when sunlight is broken down through a prism.
The solar spectrum, with its diversity of wavelengths extending from approximately 400 nm in the violet region, has a direct impact on the rhythm of people’s lives as it interacts with the earth’s surface and our biology.
The wavelength of sunlight, particularly blue light, influences our circadian patterns and the production of melatonin, a key hormone in the regulation of sleep. Exposure to different wavelengths throughout the day not only affects our biological rhythms, but also impacts our mood and general well-being, contributing to a healthier rhythm of life in harmony with natural cycles.
Solar LED technology seeks to emulate natural light with artificial light, greatly improving the illumination of indoor spaces with a light that is more focused on human well-being.
An innovative and sustainable solution
In the constant search for solutions that improve the quality of life and energy efficiency in our living spaces, the implementation of solar spectrum light sources has become a key factor in innovative architectural projects.
In this context, unlike conventional fake windows such as the leroy merlin fake window, Actilum incorporates light with solar spectrum technology into the interior of a home, with the aim of transforming dark environments into cozy and sustainable places.
Throughout this tour, we explore solutions implemented in the kitchen and living room of one home that demonstrate how combining decorative faux windows with solar spectrum can make a difference in the design and energy efficiency of our homes.
LED faux window with solar lighting and Luxpanel panels
Kitchen transformation
In the case of the kitchen, we faced the challenge of a window that faced a dark interior courtyard and provided no value. The solution we implemented was the installation of Luxpanel solar spectrum panels with diffuser that mimic outside light instead of conventional window panes.
We incorporated a fake decorative window that mimics the appearance of a real window, in order to simulate natural light.
As can be seen in the photographs and video, the result demonstrates that solar spectrum light can transform spaces into more lively, natural and welcoming environments.
Artificial decorative LED windows and energy efficiency
Illuminated room
In the living room, we opted to use highly energy-efficient technology together with LED lights that emulate the solar light spectrum. We incorporated two lightboxes in a false ceiling only 10 cm thick, along with a decorative false window with light.
In addition, we created an accessible registry to facilitate access to the electronics in case of incidents, allowing the power supplies and controllers to be manipulated.
Saving energy with Solar Spectrum
The result is daylighting that simulates the effect of two independently controlled skylights using a remote control and a wifi-enabled mobile app. Two wall switches were also included for more conventional control.
These decorative faux windows mimic the appearance of real windows, but in reality, they are an artificial light source using the solar spectrum.
This solution is characterized by its high energy efficiency, which can translate into energy savings of up to 50% in brightness loss.
If you are interested in advice for similar architectural projects, we can help you transform your kitchen or living room without access to natural light into cozy, smart and highly energy-efficient spaces, even including decorative faux windows in the design.
