Helia is a smart lighting system that aims to imitate the mood-boosting effects of natural light.
The system uses LED light that is energy efficient and as a result, does not have as much impact on the environment as many other lighting systems. It features smart home sensors that make it turn on or off when people enter or leave rooms, has ambient light sensors and adjusts brightness to conserve energy. At night, the Helia system lowers light levels so that people can move around without disturbing others by turning on bright lights. The lighting system also imitates the cycle and spectrum of natural sunlight which works to improve mood, boost productivity and aid in sleep.
The Helia lighting system works to improve and enhance users' lifestyles with little effort on their part.
