LED System Simulates Sunlight Indoors

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
COMO, Italy, April 28, 2014 — Reaping the benefits of sunlight without windows? It’s possible. In a project funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 program, CoeLux Srl has developed CoeLux, a new product that simulates sunlight indoors. The system consists of LEDs that reproduce the sunlight spectrum, an optical system designed to recreate “a sensation of distance between the sky and the sun”, and nanostructures that recreate the Rayleigh scattering process that occurs in the atmosphere. CoeLux has the capacity to bring the benefits of natural sunlight indoors. Courtesy of the...Read full article

    rayleigh scattering
    Rayleigh scattering is a phenomenon that occurs when light waves interact with particles or molecules that are much smaller than the wavelength of the light. It is named after the British scientist Lord Rayleigh, who first described the phenomenon in the 19th century. Rayleigh scattering is responsible for the blue color of the sky during the day and the reddish hues seen during sunrise and sunset. The scattering of light occurs because the electric field component of the light waves...
