In today’s built environment, where sustainability and well-being are at the forefront of architectural design, Signify’s NatureConnect series is redefining how we experience daylight indoors. At the heart of this innovation is the 600×600 skylight—a cutting-edge solution that seamlessly integrates natural light, smart technology, and energy efficiency to enhance indoor spaces.
Unlike traditional skylights that merely allow light to pass through, the 600×600 skylight is engineered to replicate the natural progression of sunlight. From the cool, crisp hues of morning to the warm glow of sunset, this dynamic lighting experience supports well-being, focus, and productivity by aligning with the body’s circadian rhythm, fostering a connection to the natural world.
Adaptive Lighting for Comfort and Efficiency
The NatureConnect system includes luminaires and scene settings designed to provide an automatic day rhythm, along with different lighting scenes to suit various moments. These settings can be easily adjusted using a user-friendly wall switch. To enhance energy efficiency, the scene set is equipped with an occupancy sensor.
If ordering without the scene set, you can connect the system to a DALI control system, allowing you to adjust the brightness of the luminaires. The Skylight features a dim-to-warm function, meaning the colour temperature automatically becomes warmer as brightness is reduced.
By default, when the Skylight is connected directly to the mains without a control system, the light output remains static at 4200K throughout the day.
Designed for both commercial and residential applications, this modular skylight seamlessly integrates into ceilings, offering a sleek, architectural solution. It is ideal for spaces lacking access to natural daylight, transforming windowless rooms while still providing functional lighting that meets industry standards (UGR19).
Transforming Dark Spaces into Vibrant Environments
Daylight is not always easily accessible within a building’s interior. NatureConnect by Signify bridges this gap, bringing the benefits of natural light indoors to create comfortable, engaging, and visually appealing environments. Though it cannot formally be classified as daylight, it offers the best alternative, providing a sun-like, human-centric lighting experience that positively impacts sleep quality, mood, and productivity.
Designed to be indistinguishable from a real skylight, it creates the illusion of a view to the sky, increasing the perception of space and enhancing the overall ambience. With carefully crafted light recipes featuring high melanopic values, it boosts energy levels while maintaining a comfortable, glare-free illumination.
A Smart and Sustainable Solution
Sustainability is a key pillar of NatureConnect design. By maximising the use of daylight-mimicking technology, it significantly reduces energy consumption, helping buildings meet modern efficiency standards and lowering their carbon footprint.
Beyond its energy-saving benefits, the skylight is fully compatible with modern building management systems, allowing for seamless integration into smart environments.
A Vision for the Future of Indoor Lighting
As architecture moves towards biophilic design—a concept that integrates natural elements into the built environment—the NatureConnect skylight plays a vital role in fostering healthier, more inspiring spaces. Research has shown that access to natural light reduces stress, enhances creativity, and improves cognitive function. By recreating the qualities of natural daylight, this innovation transforms interiors into uplifting, dynamic environments that support both physical and mental well-being.
Signify’s NatureConnect skylight is not just a lighting solution—it represents a vision for the future. By blending advanced technology, sustainability, and smart integration, it is reshaping how we experience light indoors. As the world shifts towards smarter, healthier, and more energy-efficient spaces, the 600×600 skylight illuminates the way forward, bringing the beauty and benefits of natural daylight indoors like never before.
