Lighting can do more than illuminate a space—it can influence how people see, feel, focus, interact, and respond to the passage of time.In this episode of Product Talk, Lauren Brant talks with Robert Soler, founder and chief scientist of BIOS Lighting, about what wellness-focused lighting actually means and what designers should consider when specifying it. They discuss circadian lighting, daylight integration, individual differences in energy rhythms, glare and visual comfort, controls, sustainability, and how lighting needs vary across workplaces, healthcare, hospitality, and education. Soler also shares what designers should ask manufacturers about wellness claims, spectrum, application, and performance—and why the future of lighting may require moving beyond the quiet ceiling toward lighting that more intentionally supports the people in a space.
