Age-Friendly Lighting Gains Industry Attention as Key Market Segment

The age-friendly lighting market has captured significant attention from enterprises this year, emerging as one of the most focused niche application scenarios for LED lighting manufacturers. As the human eye ages, visual capabilities gradually decline due to yellowing lenses that reduce light transmittance and deteriorating retinal photoreceptor function. Consequently, lighting solutions for seniors must not only deliver adequate brightness but also address scenario-specific requirements.

With accelerating global population aging trends, the age-friendly lighting market is demonstrating remarkable growth potential that cannot be overlooked. This sector encompasses both residential lighting upgrades and public space renovations in nursing homes, hospitals, and community facilities. The adoption of senior-oriented lighting solutions promises to enhance quality of life for the elderly while creating new development opportunities for the lighting industry.

At this year's Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition, leading companies including Signify, Bridgelux, FSL Lighting, and NationStar showcased their age-friendly lighting product lines:

Signify presented its Anrui series designed for living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. These solutions incorporate customized light recipes, intelligent bed-exit detection, radar-assisted ToF sensing technology, fall monitoring assistance, and voice control capabilities - all tailored to meet seniors' needs.

FSL Lighting demonstrated an innovative system integrating eye protection, sleep assistance, and fall detection functions. The company is actively expanding its age-friendly product portfolio through smart lighting environment designs that balance functionality with cost-effectiveness, while developing comprehensive, full-scenario lighting solutions for elderly care.

Bridgelux created a health-focused lighting experimental space featuring its upgraded Thrive™ Natural Spectrum Technology. Through optimized proprietary broadband blue LED chips, innovative phosphor formulations, and advanced packaging techniques, the solution achieves sunlight-like spectral distribution that minimizes blue light hazards, creating a comfortable, healthy circadian lighting environment with reduced blue light exposure.
