Evolution has made the natural variation of light essential for humankind, a need that hasn't changed despite the changes in our behaviour. Today most people spend 21 out of the day's 24 hours indoors, exposed to static and insufficient light. There are many well-documented and scientifically supported negative consequences stemming from exposure to poor light and how the lack of daylight affects our biology. These were the premises that led to the founding of BrainLit and the invention of BioCentric LightingTM (BCL). BrainLit's BioCentric lightingTM system creates an optimal natural lighting environment, with proper variations of light intensity and color at the right time of the day, synchronizing the body's circadian rhythm and the production of the necessary hormones (e.g., cortisol and melatonin) to keep your body system in balance. BrainLit Alven is the world's first personal, connected, dynamic and free-standing LED luminaire-powered BioCentric Lighting system. It instantly alters the emotional character of its environment and delivers a more natural light to its user. The AutoLit recipe with 100% intensity is the default setting that best helps you maintain your circadian rhythm. To maintain your normal circadian rhythm, you should use AutoLit with 100% intensity as often as possible.

Operation 9 AutoLit To activate AutoLit recipe The AutoLit recipe with 100% intensity is the default setting that best helps you maintain your circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm is referred to as our "biological clock" that regulates our well-being, alertness and sleep. To maintain your normal circadian rhythm you should use AutoLit with 100% intensity as often as possible. Please note that if you change from AutoLit or dim down the intensity, the BioCentric Lighting effect will decrease. We recommend using AutoLit with 100% intensity. 1. LONG press (3 sec) Power 2.

We encourage you to try different recipes and scenes, which can be found in the BrainLit app. For example, you wake up one morning but feel a bit slow. This would be an optimal time to use the Boost scene for a short time to energize you for the day ahead. In the afternoon when you want a break, the Relax scene can be manually activated to create a calmer ambience for a short period of time. We recommend using AutoLit with 100% intensity during the majority of the day to maintain synchronization with your circadian rhythm. User Manual · BrainLit Alven · 3.
