BIOS Lighting

BIOS, short for Biological Innovation and Optimization Systems, designs LED lighting around biology rather than brightness alone: spectra tuned to the receptors that regulate human sleep, alertness and health, and to the wavelengths plants use to grow.

Its work runs across three lines. SkyBlue is a spectrally optimised white light that reproduces the blue-sky content of daylight and is integrated into partner luminaires through an alliance programme for OEMs and contract manufacturers. SkyView turns a ceiling into a virtual skylight, bringing the experience of a blue-sky day indoors. The horticulture range supplies high-performance LED systems to commercial growers. Based in Carlsbad, California, the company develops its technology with research partners including Northwestern University, Utah State University and the Florida Institute of Technology.
