What is MelaGen®
Light does more than help us see, it plays a critical role in regulating how we feel, focus, and rest. MelaGen® is designed around this simple idea: light should work with the human body, not against it.
Scientific research has shown that exposure to specific blue light wavelengths, particularly between 480 and 490 nanometres can influence the body’s production of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate our sleep–wake cycle. Too much blue light at the wrong time of day can disrupt this natural rhythm; the right light at the right time can help restore it.
MelaGen® applies this understanding by precisely controlling blue light output within Versalux luminaires. During the day, light can support alertness, focus, and activity. As the day transitions into evening, blue light levels are reduced, allowing the body’s natural melatonin response to return and supporting rest and recovery.
Rather than relying solely on colour temperature, MelaGen® focuses on biologically effective light, delivering lighting that responds to human needs across a full day–night cycle.
MelaGen® in Life
Education
Enhancing focus and alertness for staff and students.
From pre-school classrooms to university lecture halls, the quality of light significantly impacts students’ learning experiences, academic performance, and overall well-being.
Healthcare & Aged Care
MelaGen® creating healthier environments for residents, patients and staff.
In aged care and healthcare environments, maintaining healthy circadian rhythms is essential for improving sleep, mood, cognitive function and overall well-being.
Blue-enriched light in staffed areas helps night-shift workers stay alert, reduce fatigue, and maintain focus, improving care quality and safety for those they look after.
Workplace, Control Rooms & Shiftwork
Supporting alertness, safety and recovery for shift workers.
Shift work often places employees at odds with their natural biological rhythms. Irregular hours, artificial light at night, and limited exposure to natural daylight can disrupt circadian cycles, leading to fatigue, reduced alertness and poor sleep quality.
Correctional Facilities
MelaGen® providing a safe space for staff and prisoners.
The ability to put MelaGen® into a custodial range has been ground breaking. This innovative system assists in resetting circadian rhythms, promoting better sleep quality for prisoners and full time patients who are confined to the facility 24/7. By improving sleep patterns, MelaGen® can potentially reduce aggression and conflict within the prison environment.
MelaGen® Technology
Ideal For:
MelaGen® Active luminaires feature specialised blue-enriched properties, providing sensational lighting properties for areas where a clear and focused mind is best, ultimately suppressing the release of melatonin.
This is ideal for:
- Schools
- Offices
- Emergency Settings (such as Police Stations, Hospital Work Areas, Fire Stations)
- Workplaces on rotating shifts (such as Food Processing, Fuel Stations, Manufacturing)
and more.
Idael For:
MelaGen® Calm luminaires feature a completely blue-depleted lighting property while maintaining excellent colour recognition. The alluring warmth of MelaGen® Calm is like a log fire or candlelight, providing a feel of wanting to be calm.
This is ideal for:
- Hospitality Settings (such as restaurants and bars)
- Hotels
- Rest Areas (in professional and personal settings)
- Aged Care / Medical
and more.
Ideal For:
MelaGen® Regen is the fusion of MelaGen® Active and MelaGen® Calm, providing luminaires that can softly transition between blue-enriched and blue-depleted lighting.
Mimicking the same lighting cycle that our Circadian Rhythm prefers, MelaGen® Regen promotes optimal sleep cycles within permanently occupied spaces, such as:
- Hospitals
- Aged Care
- Military
- Hospitality
- Correctional Facilities
- Residential Properties
and more.
