BioUp: Designed for circadian responses
Genlyte Solutions invests millions in technology development — constantly driven to do better and deliver more innovative solutions. Below we’ve done a deep dive into three game-changing technologies lighting designers can’t ignore…
Our lives have profoundly changed over the last few years. While some trends have been fleeting, one that has continued is that people are spending more time indoors than ever before.
And the more time we spend indoors, the less likely it is that we are exposing ourselves to sufficient daylight. We often forget how important natural light is – it can affect our mood, energy levels, productivity and sleep. The exposure to the natural light-dark cycle gives our biological clocks the essential time cues we need to feel well and perform well.
Most indoor light emits only visual levels of light. With the right technology, we can mimic natural day cycles to bring the non-visual impact of lighting indoors, supporting occupant wellbeing.
BioUp gives a cyan-boost to the LED spectrum to deliver circadian benefits simulating near perfect daylight (daylight=1).
Recommended for application areas occupied during the day including offices, schools, and healthcare facilities.

MesoOptics: Visual comfort without the glare
Like many scientific breakthroughs, one of Genlyte Solutions’ incredible technologies, MesoOptics, draws inspiration from nature. The wings of butterflies feature intricate 3D crystal nanostructures that selectively curve and scatter light. MesoOptics replicates this natural phenomenon using advanced holographic technology. Through patented processes, precise lighting distributions, measuring less than 5 microns, are applied to a recyclable substrate, creating a uniquely efficient and sustainable approach to optical lighting control.
MesoOptics technology delivers the optimal balance of light control and luminance while sustaining top-tier performance. Its higher transmission efficiencies reduce energy consumption compared to traditional optical and control methods. By introducing carefully controlled brightness to vertical surfaces, MesoOptics enhances perceived brightness and visual comfort—without introducing unwanted glare.
For lighting designers, staying at the forefront of innovation isn’t just an advantage—it’s essential. Technologies like MesoOptics empower designers to push the boundaries of efficiency, aesthetics, and sustainability.

Genlyte Solutions AccuRender is another advanced optical technology designed to deliver exceptional color rendering without compromising energy efficiency.
By optimizing spectral output, AccuRender enhances the way colors appear under LED lighting, making spaces look more vibrant, natural, and visually appealing.
Ideal for environments where accurate color perception is critical, such as offices, retail, and education, AccuRender ensures that lighting not only meets performance standards but also supports occupant comfort and well-being.
AccuRender technology is engineered to meet high standards of color quality, offering excellent color rendering with CRI ≥ 90 and R9 ≥ 50.
AccuRender aligns with the Preference, Vividness, and Fidelity criteria outlined in TM-30 Annex E, ensuring colors appear natural and vibrant.
Sustainability is a priority, achieved through careful optical design that eliminates direct view of the light source, provides multiple distribution options, and maintains low Unified Glare Ratings (UGR < 19).
Accurender also offers the design flexibility needed to support visual, biological, and behavioral lighting requirements, delivering enhanced value and performance across a wide range of applications.
