Carlsbad, CA, August 24, 2020- PMC Lighting announces the partnership with BIOS in their BIOS Illuminated™ Program which will allow specifiers to choose from a portfolio of PMC lighting products with BIOS SkyBlue®.
BIOS SkyBlue® is a patented LED circadian solution that produces the healthy “blue sky” light signal needed to stimulate human circadian biology. This specific light wavelength communicates directly with human biology through a non-visual photoreceptor to regulate circadian rhythms, providing healthier sleep patterns and ultimately, better health.
“PMC Lighting is committed to combining quality lighting with cutting edge technologies, and as soon as we saw BIOS® we knew it would be the perfect fit. Being able to offer our clients one of the foremost technologies in wellness, is right in line with PMC Lighting’s mission of innovation. We’re happy to announce we are able to integrate BIOS technology into over 40 of our current products, as well as into our custom Build-2-Spec lighting concepts. Marrying form and function in lighting is what PMC does best and adding BIOS to our offerings now makes us a leader in the health and wellness space.”
“We are excited to have PMC Lighting join our BIOS Illuminated partner program. As a family owned and operated manufacturer, PMC brings a superior line of innovative lighting, quality craftsmanship and creative adaptability. With BIOS, they can now add industry leading circadian lighting solutions making them a truly comprehensive lighting solutions provider.”

PMC Lighting is Illuminated by BIOS® to provide healthy, low energy lighting that promotes improved sleep, better health and well-being.
BIOS® SkyBlue® lighting solutions is designed to provide the specific circadian stimulus required to improve overall sleep quality, allowing our bodies to better recover during the night. Having an improved circadian rhythm can positively impact daytime productivity and overall feelings of well-being.
IT STARTS WITH BIOLOGY
Humans evolved around the sun. The human circadian rhythm—the internal clock that tells our body when to sleep and when to wake—takes its cues from the sun. It is an evolutionary function stamped into our DNA.
We are blue sky seeking creatures. In modern society, however, we live mostly indoors under artificial light— and it’s having a negative effect on our health.
“Social jet lag”—a term coined to describe the uneven sleeping patterns that are caused by indoor lighting and the modern work-life schedule—leads to increased risk for serious health conditions including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, depression and even ADHD in children. Humans need natural light—and we’re not getting enough of it. BIOS has a solution.
DRIVING HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND PRODUCTIVITY
BIOS SkyBlue lighting is driving health, happiness and productivity for a variety of industries, including hospitals and healthcare facilities, office and workplace, senior living centers, and educational facilities.
Healthcare- Improve output from staff and outcomes for care
Workplace- Create a move productive and healthier workforce
Senior Living- Reduce depression, agitation, sundowners syndrome and nighttime wandering
Education- Bring energy and focus back to the classroom

Having an improved circadian rhythm can positively impact daytime productivity and overall feelings of well-being. Our understanding of the eye and its various functions has grown significantly since the discovery of a new photoreceptor in the eye in 2001. Since this discovery we have learned the eye is responsible for more than just vision, it actually serves multiple purposes: Our visual photoreceptors (rods and cones) allow us to see color, contrast, motion, and detail in our surroundings, while this new non-visual photoreceptor (ipRGCs) assists in driving our core biological functions. This new photoreceptor is most sensitive to wavelengths of light in the “sky blue” region and is solely responsible for sending signals to our bodies’ internal clock. These signals help our bodies delineate between day and night, allowing it to organize a myriad of biological processes while also reinforcing larger behaviors such as sleep and alertness. Interestingly, this non-visual photoreceptor’s contribution to vision is minimal, and consequently, all standard electric lighting to-date has ignored this “sky blue” wavelength, eliminating the valuable biological signal our bodies evolved around. Compounding this is the fact we spend more than 90% our time indoors under standard electric lighting, creating an environment in which our bodies are in a state of constant “twilight”, where they do not receive sufficient biological stimulus during the day and too much at night, essentially confusing our day/night cycles. Symptoms of this include, but are not limited to: an inability to go to sleep in the late evening hours or an unwanted burst of energy in the early morning hours waking you sooner than you would like.
BIOS is the only company that has designed a light source which provides the natural blue sky signal our bodies and internal clocks are seeking during the daytime. This BIOS SkyBlue technology addresses and helps remedy the perpetual “twilight” our bodies currently exist in, mitigating the drowsiness during the day and the restlessness at night. BIOS and PMC Lighting are excited to partner to provide biologically optimized solutions in a variety of color temperatures and form factors, enabling the light fixtures to maintain the visual appearance specifiers and end-users want, with the biological stimulus our bodies need. BIOS SkyBlue technology can be integrated into virtually any architectural light fixture and is intended for us in a variety of daytime environments, such as offices, classrooms, hospitals, etc.
