People spend 90% of their time under artificial light that affects their biorhythms, mood and activity levels. With the technology being developed around lighting, why not develop artificial lighting that can positively affect people? This is the question raised by researchers Blas Garrido, Sergi Hern\u00e1ndez and Adri\u00e0 Huguet from the University of Barcelona when they embarked on the development of LED technology to obtain energy-efficient light biologically adapted to each need. A dynamic light, following circadian cycles of the sun: in the morning acting as an energiser, during the day keeping us active, and at the end of the day is more relaxing.<\/p>\n
This technology was developed by Enlighting Technologies, a spin-off<\/em> of the University of Barcelona. Now, BeAble Innvierte Kets Fund, Spain\u2019s only fund specialising in the transfer of industry-applied technology and that formed the company in 2017 along with researchers from the University of Barcelona, has decided to continue investing in the project with an extra \u20ac450,000 in capital to ensure company growth. \u201cThrough this increase, the idea is to start marketing everything we have developed over the past five years,\u201d says Adri\u00e0 Huguet, the company\u2019s CTO. The purpose of the spin-off<\/em> is to sign deals with industrial partners to integrate their technology into its light bulbs and work together. So far, the technology has had a good response among architecture companies, retailers and department stores.<\/p>\n Enlighting Technologies is experiencing a 2019 full of new developments, as the capital increase comes with the arrival in January of Javier Iglesias, the company\u2019s new CEO, who will provide experience within the lighting sector and a commercial vision for the technological development. \u201cI encourage people to visit the university. It was totally unknown to me and was a nice surprise,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" People spend 90% of their time under artificial light that affects their biorhythms, mood and activity levels.
