Create an environment that inspires excellence
Philips Dynalite has been successfully installed in hundreds of education projects around the world, from small day care facilities to large, multi-campus universities, and everything in between.
-
Enhanced Learning Environments
Proper lighting plays a critical role in creating an ideal learning environment. Dynalite allows for dynamic control of light levels and colour temperatures to suit different activities, such as reading, presentations, or group discussions. By optimising lighting for concentration and comfort, students and teachers can perform at their best.
-
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
Educational institutions often face tight budgets, and energy costs can be a significant expense. Dynalite’s advanced lighting control system uses sensors, occupancy detection, and scheduling to ensure lights are only used when needed, reducing energy consumption and saving money. Features like daylight harvesting take advantage of natural light, further cutting energy costs.
-
Customizable Spaces for Versatile Use
Schools and universities have diverse spaces like classrooms, lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, and sports facilities, each requiring different lighting needs. Dynalite’s customisable systems allow for tailored lighting presets to support specific activities, such as bright lighting for labs, dimmed settings for presentations, or ambient lighting for libraries.
-
Improved Student and Teacher Well-Being
The right lighting can positively impact mood, focus, and overall well-being. Dynalite systems can mimic natural daylight cycles, which helps regulate circadian rhythms and reduce fatigue. This can improve students’ cognitive performance and create a more comfortable environment for staff.
-
Ease of Control and Automation
Dynalite systems offer intuitive, user-friendly interfaces that make managing lighting simple for students and staff. Automated features, such as motion sensors and scheduled lighting events, reduce the need for manual control, allowing educators to focus on teaching rather than managing the environment.
-
Clever integrations
Integrate seamlessly with third-party systems such as audiovisual (AV) equipment, fenestration (motorized blinds or shades), and HVAC systems. This interoperability allows education facilities to create a fully synchronized environment where lighting, temperature, and shading work together to enhance comfort, efficiency, and functionality.
Education Insight
Human-centric lighting supports educational outcomes by tailoring the lighting to support the task at hand. For example, low-level warm lights support creative tasks and brainstorming, whilst high-level cool-white lights increase focus and attention to detail. Third-party systems such as AV or blinds can also be integrated, allowing a single button-press to transform the room.
