Day-to-Evening Circadian Support for 24-Hour Facilities
BIOS SkyBlue™ Tunable Circadian Lighting provides biologically optimized lighting for spaces that operate before 7am, after 7pm, or overnight, where people do not sleep. SkyBlue™ Tunable adapts throughout the day—offering a 490nm high melanopic spectrum during the day and dimming to a low melanopic 2700K spectrum in the evening.
Applications: Spaces in operation overnight, after 7pm, and before 7am where people do not sleep.

CCT Offerings
SkyBlue™ 3000K (dim to 2700K evening spectrum)
SkyBlue™ 3500K (dim to 2700K evening spectrum)
SkyBlue™ 4000K (dim to 2700K evening spectrum)
Lighting Controls
Two-channel control: intensity and spectrum are controlled independently.
Does not use a BIOS Bio-Dimming™ Module
Uses: standard 2-channel LED drivers and standard dimming interfaces/protocols (0-10V, DMX, Wireless, DALI, Lutron).
Single-channel control: BIOS Biological Tunable Light Engines must be paired with the BIOS Bio-Dimming™ Module
Allows intensity and spectrum to be controlled together.

SkyBlue™ Tunable delivers biologically effective daytime lighting while enabling a smooth transition to circadian-friendly evening light. Unlike mood or color-changing systems meant for visual effect, BIOS Tunable Lighting provides true biological and cognitive impact, modulating circadian stimulus based on time of day.
BIOS Linear Arrays, Tape Light, and COBs are available in SkyBlue™ 3000K, SkyBlue™ 3500K, and SkyBlue™ 4000K and can operate with either single-channel or dual-channel control.
SkyBlue™ Tunable is perfect for 24-hour occupied spaces where biological light cues are still essential for mood, focus, and alertness. This approach is ideal for senior living, hospitality, and residential spaces where light comfort and circadian wellness are both critical.

Why BIOS SkyBlue™ Tunable Circadian Lighting?
True 490nm SkyBlue™ circadian signal during the day
Dims to low-melanopic spectrum (Evening 2700K) at night
Outperforms typical tunable white or mood lighting in daytime and evening circadian support
Flexible integration with single or dual-channel systems
Tunable Bio-Dimming™ Explained
In single-channel applications, BIOS Tunable Light Engines use Bio-Dimming™ to:
Start the dimming curve by reducing 490nm SkyBlue™ first
Smoothly shift color temperature from daytime CCT to Evening 2700K
Maintain high lumen output while CCT is in transition
Deliver biological and psychological benefits in a seamless user experience
