How does Sparckel ensure sufficient light?

By innovatively bringing together the powerful properties of light in a plug-and-play design.

Professional technology is incorporated in a recognisable form. Thus, Sparckel represents a balance between 208 LEDs with lots of power and good colour properties, with reliable cooling, optically favourable light distribution, and a simple control ring. All with the aim of making our human biological clock (our body rhythm) more in sync with nature.

I really like the light of Sparckel and I notice the difference when the light is not on. Then I miss it. Sparckel really supports. When you're going through a rough patch, the light helps you boost your energy levels. Sparckel provides support just when you need it.

I notice that I feel mentally fitter and clearer in my head, so that I can get more work done. My colleagues also notice a real difference in the light level with the bluish light. The curve of Sparckel means that we can work longer and more focused at the end of the afternoon.

In the Marketing & Communications team at HTCE Site Management, we have the 'Bright Brenda' lamp in our office. We notice that we feel better when the lamp is on. We no longer have any dips throughout the day. Sparckel definitely has a positive influence on people's energy levels.

The best investment, is in the health of your employees.

With Sparckel, you can expect -1% sick leave anyway.

Save costs and increase turnover, by being sick less and performing more.

A Sparckel in the office pays for itself several times over in the first year! Because, your people are so valuable.

How do you pay back so quickly?

Higher performance, through more sustainable employee engagement and productivity

The NRC article told about research done by University of Twente, and shows +12% more performance in people in the office by adding more daylight. While just +0.5% more performance in the first year equals the full purchase amount of Sparckel. We then assume that people are worth €85,000 per year, and that you provide light to up to 4 people in the office with a Sparckel.

Less disease

Daylight has a proven positive impact on: your energy during the day to perform, your sleep at night and on your mood. Together, less absenteeism can be expected. Sparckel promises your organisation: -1% sick leave after 1 year of using Sparckels, if not, we will come and collect them and you will get a full refund on your purchase.

 

Working at home

For the home worker, the Jolly James is very suitable. The home office then fully meets the latest standards of good light. And, you invest in people's sustainable employability.

Frequently asked questions

No, Sparckel is more than that. Because you easily receive the Sparckel light for 6 hours a day as opposed to 30 minutes of therapy light, Sparckel is 12 times more effective. We have a different philosophy: prevention is better than cure.
 
In terms of design, Sparckel has no medical look and can stay on all day. The light comes from above, and the light adjusts automatically, just like a standard sunny day. This makes Sparckel effectively healthy an integral part of our daily lives.
Usually not... Working near a window is certainly healthier because you have more contact with the outside world. However, the amount of light decreases quickly, which means that your biological clock is still not adequately controlled. That is roughly already at 1.5 metres from a window.
Thereby, it is often bad weather, which does not help with the incidence of natural light. So Sparckel definitely makes sense and has an effect, even if you are sitting by the window.

Outside, there is quickly 10,000 to 100,000 lux on your eyes. Indoors, the norm is 500 lux and only 250 lux hits your eyes. This creates 'biological darkness' even though we can see. With Sparckel, we are making towards 1,000 lux on your eyes. We know from science and the latest expert insights that that amount of light is well our biological clock excites in the morning and afternoon.

At night, there is little warm light outside, which makes Sparckel at night.

The formula of healthy light is the subject of more scientific research. We have developed our design scientifically to the best of our knowledge, also from practice by listening to people. The following aspects are important:
- the amount of light (#lux on the eye),
- the composition of light (a peak around 470Nm),
- a full spectrum (colour rendering Ra >90),
- the change in spectrum by day (from 4,800 to 1,800 kelvin),
- the angle of incidence of light (oblique from the front and from above),
- and the duration of exposure (4 hours per day, at least 30 minutes in the morning).
Yes to see, but that is usually too little for our biological clock. 500 lux at our desk is roughly four times too little light for 'our eyes to think and feel as if we were outside'.
To see, the cones and rods in our retina work. However, since 2002, we know what our ganglion cells do, which is our third receptor in the retina. In many indoor light conditions, these ganglion cells do nothing and are insufficiently or not stimulated. Our sleep hormone gets the chance to rise during the day. As a result, you have less energy and you are not alert.
If you add extra light at certain times of the day, such as in the morning and early afternoon, of around 470Nm, the ganglion cells will be stimulated. The amount of light must be at least 600 lux on the eye, preferably around 1,000 lux, to be effective. Then your sleep hormone is suppressed and you are substantially more alert.

The mechanism in the brain responsible for regulating circadian rhythm is called the biological clock. This mechanism is located in a core area in the hypothalamus called nucleus suprachiasmaticus. Light falling on the retina of the eyes is directed via special ganglion cells to the hypothalamus and from there to the nucleus suprachiasmaticus. These ganglion cells contain the light-sensitive pigment melanopsin. The nucleus suprachiasmaticus regulates the wake-sleep rhythm by stimulating other brain regions such as the epiphysis (pineal gland). The epiphysis produces the hormone melatonin, which affects the sleep-wake rhythm.

By receiving more daylight, the biological clock is controlled via spheres in the retina of our human eye. By doing so, we suppress our sleep hormone melatonin during the day and we are on edge, full of energy. The more we suppress that sleep hormone during the day, the better it rises in the evening in preparation for a good night's sleep. We then sleep deeper and longer, to start the next day well rested with extra energy.
 
And, by stimulating the spheres in our retina with light at the right time, we regulate our stress hormone cortisol and our sleep hormone melatonin in a better balance, via our biological clock. On balance, our mood and mental condition improve.

Believe us and know that even then more daylight will make a substantial difference. Compare it to top-class sport. Daylight gives you up to 12% percent extra performance, enough to successfully respond to changing challenging conditions at work.

No, Sparckel has all the special Led integrated on a circuit board. These cannot be replaced. The technical lifespan stands at 10 years of intensive use.

The clock function is integrated. Even when not plugged in, that clock continues to run, summer and winter time included. Even a seasonal clock is possible. We can set our light scenes accordingly. In winter, the activating part of the light then rises later, and sets earlier.

Yes, we can turn it on. There is a seasonal clock that knows exactly what time the sun rises and sets based on geo-location (longitude and latitude). We can adjust our light scenes accordingly. In winter, the activating part of the light rises later and sets earlier.

The expected technical lifetime is 10 years with intensive use. To achieve this, we use our aluminium lampshade with light slots to keep the LEDs well cool.

Three-year full warranty, under normal use. See also our general terms and conditions.

We can extend the standard warranty to 5 years for a fee.

Yes, you can. Try to be outside as much as possible, also during work, for example at lunch time. Not only get a breath of fresh air, but also a light.

Yes, for business customers (work & care) we have hire purchase. You specify how many years you want to experience the healthy light and pay an all-in monthly fee. At the end of the term, the Sparckel is your property.
 
 

No, Sparckel makes much more light. The light output of those regular smart lights is insufficient at 800 lumens for our biological clock during the day. Sparckel makes up to 10 times more light and it is well designed both optically and in terms of cooling.

The smart lights use so-called RGB LEDs. We are mainly in the full white spectrum.

In addition, we have integrated special healthy lighting scenes based on scientific findings and feedback from existing customers.
