SpectraFLUX was developed based on deep insights into human vision and our perception of motion and colors
The driving innovation is the lighting strategies and choice of color hues that result in high visibility light for varying ambient light conditions
Our Vision Changes as Daylight Fades to Night
Human vision operates across three primary regimes — so called Photopic (daylight), Mesopic (twilight/dusk), and Scotopic (night) vision. We perceive light differently depending on its color (wavelength) relatively to the degree of ambient light — SpectraFLUX was designed to be highly visible in all 3 regimes
Types of Vision
Photopic Vision (Daylight): In bright daylight, the human eye perceives a full range of colors well — SpectraFlux has modes designed for daylight situations, with brilliant flashing white and colored light
Mesopic Vision (Dawn/Dusk): At dawn and dusk as daylight fades to night, human vision is sensitive to a more narrow band of the visible spectrum and we perceive blue, green, and amber hues with much greater apparent intensity — SpectraFlux is particularly effective in this regime with color modes optimized for these ambient conditions. This is also the light level in most urban settings at night.
Scotopic Vision (Night): Once daylight fades completely away, human eyesight shifts towards scotopic vision, and the colors we perceive most strongly are green and blue — All SpectraFlux lighting modes are highly visible in dark environments and provide you with several modes that illuminate you so you’re seen
Beyond Red - Full Spectrum Safety
Traditional taillights and many safety lights are red. And as our vision shifts to Mescopic and Scotopic, we perceive red light with much lower apparent intensity than other colors in the spectrum. Red light fades into the background in urban settings. Some safety lights project amber light, or in some case a few select colors
SpectraFLUX™ Advantage — Our design includes several modes with colors from across the full visible spectrum, making it highly visible in any environment. In addition, the light continually changes. This is particularly well perceived by human peripheral vision which has evolved to notice changes. Things that move, flash, or change color are easily noticed by our peripheral vision
