Audio Video Term

Circadian Lighting

Circadian Lighting is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Circadian Lighting is lighting design that changes intensity or color temperature over the day to better align with natural light patterns.

Example of Circadian Lighting

A Dinner scene can lower bright overhead lighting, warm accent lighting, and keep pathway lights on for safe movement through the home. In that kind of Davis lighting control project, the term Circadian Lighting would describe lighting design that changes intensity or color temperature over the day to better align with natural light patterns. Davis would use that understanding to account for fixture and dimmer compatibility, keypad scenes, daylight behavior, and final light-level tuning, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
