CHROMOTHERAPY led light
Light and colors have always been an indispensable element in the life of the human being. Recently, we talk more and more about the influence light has on our body and how it is a tool that can improve our health and our psycho-physical well-being.

So proper lighting is not only functional in allowing us to see well in a dark place, but it seems to have a direct impact on our life cycle.
1.     Light and biological clock
2.     Furniture, colors, and lighting

Light and biological clock

In fact, not everyone knows that it is light that influences (positively or negatively) the human organism. Suffice it to think that it is lighting that regulates our biological clock and thus determines our rhythm of life, also known as the circadian cycle.

Trivially, it is the alternation of light and dark that regulates our daily rhythms. So a correct exposure to daylight helps us fall asleep first, on the contrary, being in an environment that is too bright in the evening does not induce sleep.

The alteration of this alternation, caused for example by prolonged exposure to light at an inappropriate time of the day or on the contrary a state of the darkness during the day can lead to states of anxiety, depression or other pathologies.

The ' artificial lighting in many cases has a negative impact on our biological cycle, a classic example is exposure to night lights to the tablet, mobile phones, and computers. A widespread habit, but highly discouraged.
This is why careful choices of colors and lighting can help us keep our biological cycle perfectly balanced.

Furniture, colors, and lighting

When one decides to furnish one's home, one must also take into consideration the lighting factor, which in turn is linked to the colors.

In a very dark and dark room, for example, they will tend to use very light shades that give a greater light to the environment, while in an already very bright room it is possible to play more with the colors and even hazard the use of darker ones.

The colors also, according to the color therapy, can also help improve mood and cure some mild pathologies. For example, the blue color is particularly suitable for those who need calm and relaxation (as well as green). The yellow instead stimulates creativity and imagination, red is a very warm and intense color and gives energy and vigor

Depending on the type of room it is, therefore, possible to prefer a different shade: in the kitchen, it is preferable to opt for the yellow color that increases creativity, while in the living room it is better to prefer very bright and lively colors that create a convivial and hospitable environment, even in the bedroom children can be daring by preferring cheerful colors like an orange while in the bedroom you have to choose colors that are rather soft and delicate to help you relax.

In addition to the choice of colors, we must be careful with the type of lighting. We have already talked about the difference between warm and cold light (color temperature). The ideal would be to have a dimmable lighting system, with the possibility of adjusting the light intensity. In this way, it will be possible to have the type of light you prefer in your own home depending on the occasion, the time of day and the type of room.
