About
BrainLit is Sweden’s most innovative lighting technology company. BrainLit’s BioCentric Lighting™ system is an advanced, feedback-driven, self-learning system that creates natural light environments via a globally unique software patent. Indoor lighting is configured to mimic natural daylight using sensor-driven, LED lighting that is controlled by our software.
History
BrainLit’s BioCentric Lighting™ environment solutions were founded by the entrepreneurship of Tord Wingren and his fascination with the impact that light conditions can have on human and animal health. The idea was further developed by a team of researchers, including Klas Sjöberg, head physician and chairman of BrainLit’s scientific advisory board. The first patent was submitted in 2012, the same year BrainLit AB was founded. Today, BrainLit holds five patent portfolios and is the leading lighting technology company in Sweden. The current rate of expansion is rapid and our light environments are operating throughout Sweden, with a global roll-out expected imminently.
