LYS Circadian Lighting
Circadian Lighting for Care Homes – Transform Sleep, Safety & Well-being
LYS Technologies brings science-backed, dementia-friendly lighting to UK care homes – improving sleep, reducing falls, and creating calmer environments.
Why Lighting Is the Missing Piece in Care Home Well-being
Care home residents spend over 90% of their time indoors. Without access to healthy, natural daylight, their circadian rhythm – the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle – can be disrupted. This leads to poor sleep quality, confusion, increased fall risk, and lower quality of life.
LYS Circadian Lighting recreates the natural pattern of daylight indoors, supporting better health for residents and improving working conditions for staff.
- Boosts Sleep Quality & Reduces Confusion –Mimics natural daylight to align residents’ circadian rhythms, improving rest and reducing disorientation.
- Enhances Safety – Scientifically proven to lower fall risk by supporting alertness during the day and restful sleep at night.
- Creates Calmer Environments – Promotes a soothing atmosphere for residents while improving comfort and efficiency for care staff.

The Science Behind Circadian Lighting
How LYS Circadian Lighting Works
Trusted by Care Teams.
The circadian system regulates wakefulness and sleep through exposure to light. Blue tones signal the body to produce serotonin for alertness, while warm tones encourage melatonin production for sleep.
LYS lighting adjusts colour temperature, intensity, and timing automatically – creating a healthier rhythm indoors.
Research Highlight: A 2022 Harvard study showed 43% fewer falls in care homes using circadian lighting, making it one of the most effective low-cost preventative care strategies.
Lighting Tailored to Each Resident
Intelligent Health & Sleep Insights.
Every resident is different. LYS uses a simple chronotype assessment to deliver personalised light “recipes” based on age, health conditions, and daily routine.
The LYS Connect App allows staff to set wake-up and sleep times, monitor sleep cycle alignment, and make adjustments instantly.
