Technology & Innovation Safety & Safeguarding

A new partnership is set to transform the way light is used in care environments across the UK and Ireland.

Spark Care has secured exclusivity with LYS Technologies, introducing their pioneering circadian lighting system into care settings. More than just a lighting upgrade, this innovation is poised to improve resident wellbeing, support staff health, and even cut night-time falls by up to 43%.

Why Light Matters More Than You Think

Care home residents spend over 90% of their time indoors, often under artificial lighting that does little to support the body’s natural rhythm. The result? Restless nights, fatigue during the day, increased agitation, and higher risks of falls.

Circadian lighting changes that. By mimicking natural daylight patterns, it helps

regulate the body’s sleep–wake cycle through gentle, automatic light shifts throughout the day.

The benefits speak for themselves:

· Better sleep quality

Reduced “walking with purpose” and agitation in dementia care
Enhanced cognition, mood, and behaviour
Lower fatigue and burnout among night-shift staff

The Science Behind the Solution

A 2022 study by Harvard Medical School found that circadian lighting can:

Reduce falls by up to 43%
Improve sleep and alertness
Support better mental health and cognitive function

As Christina Friis Blach, CEO C Co-Founder of LYS Technologies, explains:

“In care homes, where residents spend most of their time indoors, the impact of healthier light can be profound. Together with Spark Care, we aim to set a new standard—enabling brighter days and better nights for residents and staff alike.”

Designed for Care, Without Disruption

Unlike traditional upgrades, this circadian lighting system is:

Plug-and-play with minimal disruption
Suitable for both retrofits and new builds
Personalised to residents’ age, health, and sleep cycles
Dashboard-enabled for monitoring sleep alignment
Compatible with optional sensors for continuous optimisation Nadia Morris, CEO of Spark Care, highlights its impact:

“This is one of the most immediate, affordable, and high-impact changes a care home can make. If you’ve got artificial lighting, you’ve got an opportunity to do better.”
