The Daylight System

Circadian Sky

Overview

A window to the sky,
just 3.3" deep.

Circadian Sky offers the mesmerizing appearance of infinite clear blue and sunset skies, mimicking the layered look of real glass with multiple surface reflections while preserving privacy. It leads the industry in melanopic ratio, color temperature range, and color accuracy, the clear choice for meeting multiple WELL Building Standards.

Integrated controls dynamically adjust color temperature and intensity to match the body's needs throughout the day, and the system integrates seamlessly into any space, regardless of its constraints.

Circadian Health

Light that moves with you.

Daylight is more than illumination. It is the signal that sets the body's internal clock. Circadian Sky recreates that signal indoors, wherever a real window cannot reach.

Industry Leading Melanopic Ratio

Melanopic ratios from 0.4 to 1.9, the high and low EML the body needs across the day to stay entrained.

A Rhythm From Dawn to Dusk

An automatic schedule shifts color temperature and intensity from cool morning light to warm golden hour.

Lifelike Color

CRI 91–98, R9 up to 98, and <0.003 Duv across every CCT, so skin tones and materials read accurately.

Full Spectrum, Free of UV

The full visible spectrum of natural daylight, without the harmful ultraviolet of real sun exposure.

Built for WELL v2

Engineered to help projects meet multiple WELL Building Standard circadian lighting credits.

Clinical Grade Options

A Behavioral Health variant adds shatterproof, tamper resistant, ligature resistant hardware for patient care.

Also a Window

The skylight that's also a window.

Most people picture Circadian Sky overhead, a luminous skylight in the ceiling. But the very same panel mounts flush to any interior wall, where its double-pane depth turns a blank surface into a window onto an infinite blue sky. No exterior wall to borrow, no view to give up, no loss of privacy.

  • Any interior wall

    No exterior wall or structural opening required. If there's a wall, there's a view.

  • Infinite-depth view

    The same dual-reflection glazing reads as open sky and real distance, not a flat screen.

  • Complete privacy

    A window that never looks back in. All the openness of glass, none of the exposure.

  • Same wellness metrics

    Industry-leading melanopic ratio, 2,200 K to 200,000 K range, and CRI, whether vertical or overhead.

What Sets It Apart

Depth and color, engineered.

Dual Reflection Technology

Creates depth and distant focal points

Circadian Sky replicates a double pane window, inducing a secondary reflection pulled from natural glazing, to enhance depth and spatial perception.

Circadian Sky's measured colour points tracking the daylight locus across its full CCT range on a CIE chromaticity diagram, with the resulting colour bar from deep blue to warm white

Precisely Calibrated Color

Accurately follows the daylight locus

With an unparalleled color temperature range of 2,200 K to 200,000 K, Circadian Sky can emulate a deep blue sky and create diverse moods. Warm light fosters comfort, while cool light enhances clarity and alertness.

Installation

Fits into any ceiling or wall.

At only 3.3" deep, Circadian Sky integrates into virtually any architecture: dropped into a grid, framed into solid concrete, mounted to the surface, recessed flush, or specified for behavioral health environments. The wider line-up extends to wall and window arrays, clerestory glazing, and free-floating suspended clouds.

Design & Control

Specify with confidence.

CircadianLab is photometric design in the browser, built for Circadian Sky. Model the space, drop in fixtures, and validate the wellness metrics, then hand off a schedule the Studio app drives on day one.

  • Plan the install

    Sketch the room, lay out Circadian Sky panels, and see the daylight they deliver before a single fixture ships.

  • Prove the metrics

    Calculate melanopic EDI, illuminance, and glare live against WELL v2 thresholds, straight from the browser.

Plan Your Install

Open in Circadian Lab.

How many fixtures do you need? Circadian Lab simulates your room with real photometric data to calculate the lighting metrics that matter.

EML
Equivalent Melanopic Lux
Measures light's impact on circadian rhythm via melanopsin receptors. WELL v2 recommends 275+ EML at eye level.
Foot Candles
Illuminance
Light intensity on work surfaces. Offices typically need 30 to 50 fc; detailed tasks may need 50 to 75 fc.
UGR
Unified Glare Rating
Quantifies visual discomfort from glare. Below 19 is comfortable for office work; below 16 for detailed tasks.
18
Open in Circadian Lab

Free tool, no account required. Uses real IES photometric files for accurate simulation.
