SkyView™ Tile
SkyView™ Tile, by BIOS Lighting, represents the next generation in circadian lighting.
SkyView™ Tile for Circadian Wellness
SkyView™ is a groundbreaking circadian light that can deliver the targeted m-EDI of 250 lux on the vertical plane of the eye, as recommended by both the WELL building standard and RP-46-23 from the IES.
Unique truly immersive circadian lighting
SkyView™ Tile is a unique lighting product that stands out in the market. It is the only luminaire that meets the wellness criteria for all health and wellness lighting standards, specifically the 250 daytime melanopic EDI. Additionally, SkyView™ Tile complies with North America’s strictest energy codes.
Highest Melanopic Ratio on the Market
SkyView™ Tile provides the highest melanopic ratio of any lighting option currently available, measuring 250 m-EDI at an average of 300 lux in daytime mode. It enhances circadian rhythms using an electric circadian lighting system with patented GCO™ (Gradient Circadian Optimization) Technology. This system offers the health benefits of the blue sky energy that our bodies need.
SkyView™ Lighting System Features:
- Boosts mood, focus, and altertness
- 250 m-EDI at 300 lux
- 0.4 W/ft² on a 10 x 10 grid
- Volumetric light distribution maintains uniformity ratios of < 2:1
- A 1 for 1 replacement of traditional LED luminaires

FAQs
What is the purpose of SkyView™ Tile?
The SkyView™ Tile is the only luminaire on the market that provides truly immersive circadian lighting while meeting North America’s most stringent energy codes. The SkyView™ Tile is a circadian lighting solution designed to enhance alertness, productivity, and overall well-being by mimicking natural daylight patterns. With patented GCO™ (Gradient Circadian Optimization) technology, it provides targeted lighting that supports the body’s circadian rhythm, ideal for offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and other shared spaces.
What are the biological benefits of the SkyView™ Tile?
The SkyView™ Tile helps strengthen circadian rhythms, improve alertness, enhance productivity, and boost mood by delivering melanopic light that meets WELL Building Standards and RP-46-23 from the IES.
How does the SkyView™ Tile support circadian health?
The Tile brings in the benefits of a blue-sky day. Simply replacing existing 2×2 fluorescent/LED luminaires with SkyView Tile (retrofit) or spacing SkyView Tile 10’ apart will meet the new wellness requirements of 250 vertical lux (melanopic equivalent daylight illuminance.)
How does the SkyView Tile create high melanopic-EDI without uncomfortable brightness, glare, or excessive power consumption?
The SkyView Tile light engine uses patented GCO™ (Gradient Circadian Optimization) Technology, to spatially separate high and low CCT light to create a natural blending in your space that is a good proxy for the circadian light you experience in viewing the landscape with blue sky. Learn More
What are the primary applications for the SkyView™ Tile?
The Tile is ideal for commercial office spaces, classroom settings, and numerous other applications
How would I know how “natural” my interior lighting is?
It really comes down to knowing how much blue-sky light is present to drive circadian rhythms. This is not as difficult as it seems. Two such measures adopted by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE TN015:2023) that are useful in assessing healthy light are:
- Melanopic EDI (M-EDI), defined as the illuminance of a daylight (D65) reference light that matches a melanopic irradiance – useful as a measure of OVERALL melanopic light
- Melanopic Daylight Efficacy Ratio (M-DER) defined as the ratio of melanopic EDI to photopic illuminance – useful to describe the amount of melanopic light in relation to the total brightness of the scene.
SkyView Tile exceeds 250 m-EDI with a M-DER of 1.4.
