LIGHTING SCIENCE


Lighting Science Group is a Pegasus portfolio company developing energy-effi cient LED lighting that addresses important environmental and health concerns, with products specifi cally designed to support natural melatonin production, improve sleep, boost alertness, accelerate plant growth and protect wildlife. Using patented


technology, the company has created a groundbreaking


range of LED bulbs and lamps that eliminate wavelengths of light proven by decades of medical research to disrupt circadian rhythms in humans, animals and plants. Products on offer in the health- and wellness-related Rhythm Series include Good Night, which uses spectrum-fi ltering technology to greatly reduce melatonin- suppressing blue light, and Awake & Alert, which emits a blue-enriched white light aimed at increasing energy and alertness. Other company products serve environmental functions,


such as MyNature Grow, which uses purple or ‘true white’ light to promote healthy plant growth; and MyNature Coastal, which offers beachfront lighting for resorts and homes that is less disruptive to wildlife. Resort operators already making use of the technology include Miraval Resort & Spa in the US, which has installed Good Night lamps in 116 guest rooms; and, of course, Six Senses, which features Good Night lamps in all of its guest rooms and spas, and Awake & Alert lamps in its gyms and exercise rooms. www.lsgc.com
