The same game every year: We reflect on the past year and set goals that we want to implement from January. Do more exercise, stop smoking or spend less time on social media? Unfortunately, New Year’s resolutions are known to often stay the same. This is not (only) due to our inner weakness and unrealistic plans, but above all because of the time of year. The lack of light robs you of energy and therefore motivation. Studies* show that cold white light counteracts these effects. Nanoleaf’s RBG lighting products achieve the necessary color temperature and also look stylish. Nanoleaf presents three solutions for your own four walls that will help you stick to your goals for the new year – for real this time!
Home workout with the shapes
You don’t need a gym to stay fit. Push-ups, yoga on the living room floor or a lap on the exercise bike work wonders. Researchers have discovered** that very bright light with color temperatures above 4,000 Kelvin releases energy and helps to achieve greater physical performance – or simply makes strenuous exercises feel a little less strenuous. So if you want to make home workouts a little easier, you can help with suitable lighting. The Nanoleaf Shapes bring the necessary brightness for an energy kick into your own four walls and ensure that the exercises feel less strenuous. On top of that, they look cool too! Thanks to the modular design, the light tiles can be arranged individually. If you feel like changing later, you can easily redesign your setup or expand it with additional elements.
Tip: Smart features such as the ability to synchronize the RGB lights with music and light them up to the rhythm of the workout soundtrack put you in a good mood and increase motivation.
Home office with the canvas
Whether it’s work or personal projects, sitting down at your desk in the winter and concentrating for long periods of time can quickly feel tiring. The body screams for hibernation because of the omnipresent darkness and makes us yawn and lose concentration. Fortunately, we can outsmart him relatively easily. Turn up the lights and winter feels only half as exhausting. The fact that Nanoleaf’s canvases can shine not only brightly, but also in 16 million colors also helps: while blue light supports the ability to concentrate, orange promotes creativity. And after work, the smart light tiles provide relaxed cuddles, reading or party light – after all, everyone spends the end of the day in different ways.
Tip: Use the Nanoleaf app’s schedules to structure your everyday work routine. If the color changes after an hour, it’s time to take your eyes off the monitor and rest your eyes for 15 minutes.
Get up earlier with the Bulbs and Circadian Lighting
In bed until the last minute and then rushing to work? Things will be different this year! If you want to get up earlier and eat in peace in the morning or even go for a run without torturing yourself, you should start at your bedtime in the evening. The Circadian Lighting feature from Nanoleaf helps with this. The circadian rhythm is the body’s ability to synchronize physiological processes over a period of 24 hours. This adaptation occurs through photoreceptors in the eye and can therefore also be influenced by the influence of light. This is where Nanoleaf’s smart function comes in: As soon as your location is entered in the app and the mode is activated, the RGB lights automatically adjust to the ideal lighting to suit the time of day. Thanks to the adapting, dimming brightness, the lights help the body feel ready for bed.
Tip: To supplement the morning, use the daylight alarm clock function and start the day naturally and gently with continuously increasing brightness
