LIGHT CHANGES OUR MENTAL STATE
MENTAL
BALANCE
BY LIGHT
About 15 years ago, the initial foundations for Mental Balance by Light were laid in collaboration with the Center for Neuroscience in Ulm. This involved synthesizing various scientific findings from the fields of perceptual psychology, neuroscience, and lighting research. The focus was on how the brain processes light and what effects this has on perception, mood, arousal, and mental well-being. In 2015, the first lighting design concept was developed based on this research. Since then, it has been applied in more than 800 international projects and has been continuously refined and improved. Today, experience from practical implementation shows that the scientific principles can be specifically applied to spaces and lead to noticeably positive results.

Spaces affect us long before we consciously realize why. Light, contrasts, and the distribution of brightness are processed immediately by the brain and influence mood, attention, alertness, and well-being. With Mental Balance by Light, this effect is specifically designed. Each space receives exactly the right amount of light energy to suit its purpose and the time of day. The result is spaces that can soothe, energize, or promote focus—and thus have a tangible effect on the people who spend time in them. The focus is not on the light itself, but on the state of mind it enables. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
HOW SPACE
CHANGES US
NO FEELING, JUST A SYSTEM
Mental Balance by Light is not based on personal taste or subjective judgment. The lighting effect in a room is planned according to clearly defined factors: light intensity, contrast, distribution, glare control, room geometry, usage, and time of day. These parameters are integrated into a systematic planning process and calculated individually for each room. The result is not a random atmosphere, but a deliberately designed lighting effect that can be reproduced, verified, and reliably implemented. Knowledge becomes planning. Planning becomes a space whose positive effect is no accident. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Our inner balance is shaped not only by our thoughts, encounters, and experiences. The environment in which we find ourselves also subconsciously influences how we feel, how well we perform, and how we come across to others. Light plays a central role in this. It can energize, calm, provide orientation, and enhance well-being. It is crucial that the amount of light, contrasts, distribution, and time of day are harmoniously balanced. Mental Balance by Light creates precisely this balance. The result is spaces that do not overwhelm people but rather support them—from the first light of morning to the tranquility of evening.
