Justice, Corrections and Secure Facilities
Daylight creates a more natural environment in correctional facilities, supporting calmer moods.
These are buildings where the security requirement and the human requirement pull in opposite directions. Windows are a risk, so they are removed, and the people inside lose any sense of the day.
Extended time in a space with no daylight and no time reference has well documented effects on sleep, mood and behaviour. Underground and secure environments are recognised as among the hardest for exactly this reason. Restoring a sense of daylight, openness and psychological comfort where natural light is absent is a measurable improvement for occupants and for the staff working alongside them. Courtrooms and public waiting areas carry a gentler version of the same problem.

Why it works here
Health and mood
Regular exposure to daylight helps regulate sleep, lifts mood and supports mental wellbeing.
A connection to nature
We are outdoor beings who spend our days inside. Our eyes want to see sky, and a building that gives them one feels different to occupy.
A more spacious feel
Light draws the eye upward, so low ceilings and deep plans read as considerably larger and more open.
Circadian rhythm
Colour and brightness shift every 6 seconds to follow the real sun at site latitude.
Better days, better nights
A daylight cycle indoors helps balance the body clock, supporting alertness through the day and recovery at the end of it.
Lux calculations
We model the layout and confirm levels at floor before you specify, not after.
Photometric data
IES and LTD files, dimensioned vector outlines and datasheets available per model.
Every unit tested
100% of units are individually tested for light quality before shipping, not batch sampled.
Output for tall ceilings
5000 lux at 3 metres and 1500 lux at 10 metres, and installed as high as 15 metres.
Locked down control
Hardwired control preferred over wireless, with All lock disabling the interface entirely at the cell.
