Discover the Health Benefits of Full Spectrum SunLike LEDs

The full spectrum SunLike LEDs from Seoul Semiconductor have been proven to have positive health effects in two independent studies conducted by universities in Switzerland and South Korea. These groundbreaking LEDs offer a major improvement in spectral power distribution (SPD), closely mimicking the SPD of the sun within the human visual range. By utilizing a three-phosphor mix and a violet emitter, the SunLike LEDs can be employed in various applications, including human-centric lighting and lighting for health and well-being, where tunable lighting can enhance overall human well-being.

University of Basel Study Confirms Health Benefits

The first study, titled "Effect of daylight LED on visual comfort, melatonin, mood, waking performance, and sleep," was published by the University of Basel in Switzerland. The research found that volunteers experienced better visual comfort, increased alertness, and improved moods when exposed to SunLike LEDs compared to other LEDs. The university published the research in the Journal of Lighting and Research Technology. Professor Christian Cajochen led the research team investigating what they referred to as LEDs with a daylight spectrum.

The study involved 15 young male volunteers who took part in two separate test sessions, each lasting 49 hours. During each session, the volunteers were exposed to either Seoul Semiconductor SunLike LEDs or conventional white LEDs at the same correlated color temperature (CCT) and intensity levels. The only difference between the two sessions was the SPD of the LED-based lighting products.

The results revealed that volunteers reported better visual comfort, heightened vigilance, and happier moods associated with SunLike LED exposure compared to conventional LED exposure. The paper also provides quantitative data on sleep patterns, with Delta EEG (electroencephalogram) tests showing increased Stage 3 non-rapid eye movement sleep, indicating deeper sleep.

South Korean Study Reinforces Positive Findings

The second study, conducted by the Biomedical Information Laboratory research team at Seoul National University College of Medicine in South Korea, found that using SunLike-based LED lighting modules significantly reduced eye discomfort and improved sleep quality compared to conventional LED lighting users.

The researchers conducted experiments on adults, including graduate students at Seoul National University, who spend a significant amount of time studying at their desks indoors. Each participant was instructed to use a SunLike desk lamp and a conventional LED lamp for three hours before bedtime. The team then analyzed participants' vital signs recorded during sleep and conducted a questionnaire.

Subjective evaluations through questionnaires revealed a significant decrease in eye fatigue and a marked improvement in sleep quality. Analysis of the measured vital signs showed that the time it took to fall asleep was 23% faster, and the time spent awake during sleep improved by 43%. As a result, sleep efficiency as an indicator of sleep quality significantly increased from 88% to 94%.

The research team from Seoul National University concluded that these effects were due to the stabilization of the autonomic nervous system rhythm, which was manifested by the inactivation of sympathetic nerves and the activity of parasympathetic nerves when using SunLike-based lighting. The researchers added that light affects people's circadian rhythms and that adjusting the light according to time zones and using a light source close to sunlight can improve biorhythms.

Implications for the Future of Lighting

The findings of these two independent studies highlight the potential of SunLike LEDs to revolutionize the lighting industry. By closely mimicking natural sunlight, these LEDs offer an array of health benefits, including improved visual comfort, increased alertness, enhanced mood, and better sleep quality.


As awareness of the connection between light and well-being grows, we can expect to see a greater demand for human-centric lighting solutions that prioritize health and wellness. SunLike LEDs, with their full spectrum light and natural SPD, are poised to become an essential component in the future of lighting design, transforming how we illuminate our homes, workplaces, and public spaces.

The Importance of Human-Centric Lighting

Human-centric lighting takes into account the biological, emotional, and psychological needs of individuals when designing and implementing lighting solutions. With the SunLike LEDs' proven health benefits, they offer an ideal choice for human-centric lighting applications. By closely replicating natural sunlight, these LEDs provide a comfortable and healthy environment for individuals, leading to improved productivity, reduced stress, and enhanced well-being.

Potential Applications for SunLike LEDs

The versatile nature of SunLike LEDs allows for a wide range of applications across various industries and settings. Some potential applications include:

- Healthcare facilities: Hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare environments can benefit from SunLike LEDs by providing patients and staff with a more natural and comfortable lighting experience, promoting healing and reducing stress.

- Educational institutions: Schools, colleges, and universities can utilize SunLike LEDs to create better learning environments, improving students' concentration, mood, and overall performance.

- Offices and workspaces: By implementing SunLike LEDs in offices and other workspaces, businesses can boost employee productivity, satisfaction, and well-being, ultimately contributing to a more successful organization.

- Retail spaces: SunLike LEDs can enhance the shopping experience by providing more accurate color rendering and visual comfort, making products appear more appealing and encouraging customers to spend more time in the store.

- Residential environments: Homeowners can benefit from SunLike LEDs by creating a more comfortable and visually appealing living space, improving overall well-being and even supporting better sleep patterns.

 - Public spaces and transportation: SunLike LEDs can be used in public spaces like parks, train stations, airports, and other transportation hubs to create a more pleasant and comfortable atmosphere for travelers and visitors.

In conclusion, the health benefits of full spectrum SunLike LEDs are undeniable, as evidenced by the two independent studies conducted by universities in Switzerland and South Korea. As the demand for human-centric lighting solutions continues to grow, SunLike LEDs are well-positioned to become a leading choice for creating healthier and more comfortable environments across various industries and settings. By harnessing the power of natural sunlight, these innovative LEDs have the potential to transform the future of lighting design and significantly improve our daily lives.
