Good Light Group Asia

Launch of Good Light Group Asia

We are very pleased that Lawrence and his team have taken the initiative to establish Good Light Group Asia. This organization is dedicated to promoting the use of good indoor light.

Across Asia, we see a growing awareness of the impact that light and lighting have on health and well-being. This awareness can be seen within the lighting industry, academic institutions, and governments.

This is highly relevant. Just like elsewhere in the world, most people in Asia spend their days indoors, often shielded from daylight. They are exposed to light levels that are too low during the daytime and too bright in the evening. Many of us recognize the loss of energy this causes in our daily lives.

Scientific evidence clearly shows that these lighting patterns affect sleep quality, mood, alertness, energy levels, and overall health.

We strongly believe that Asia has a unique opportunity to take these findings seriously. The region can become the global leader in developing healthier lighting practices and innovative lighting solutions.

Asia is home to an exceptionally innovative lighting industry. This industry is strongly supported by universities, research institutes, and standards organizations. With more than half of the world’s lighting manufacturers located in Asia, the potential for positive impact is enormous.

Good Light Group Asia will play an important role in translating scientific knowledge into clear and practical guidelines for the lighting value chain. This includes lighting manufacturers, lighting designers, architects, installers, and, last but not least, the general public. By increasing public awareness and stimulating innovation, we can meaningfully improve the quality of life for billions of people.

We are proud and personally very excited that we are now in the process of creating Good Light Group Asia as an independent non-profit organization. It will be closely aligned with the global mission, values, and recommendations of the Good Light Group.

We look forward to working together with our partners in Asia to improve health and well-being through better light.
