Human-Centered Nighttime Protection — Low-Glare Lighting Based on Human Factors

Human-Centric Lighting

Every late-night journey is a test of vision and safety

Have you ever experienced this?
Driving through heavy rain or dense fog at night, the glare from streetlights reflects off the moisture in the air, blurring your vision in an instant. You instinctively slow down, grip the steering wheel tighter, and proceed with caution.

Or perhaps, after a long day at work, you walk through dimly lit streets under a light drizzle or mist. Even though the lights are bright, the harsh reflections and glare make it hard to see your steps clearly—and even harder to truly relax.

Thoughtful lighting should care for everyone making their way home in harsh weather.
Whether it’s pouring rain or thick fog, lighting should reduce glare and reflections, guiding you safely through the night. It should make every journey feel warm, secure, and reassuring.

Whether it’s a safe intersection in Taiwan, a lively park in Boston, or a historic street in a small American town, ComfortView™ low-glare technology gently illuminates the way—protecting both people and the cities they call home.

What is "low glare"? How does it protect our safety?

Traditional LED streetlights often prioritize brightness over balance—resulting in harsh glare that compromises visual comfort.
This intense light can cause eye strain and fatigue, and more critically, it slows down reaction times for both drivers and pedestrians. For long-distance drivers, elderly individuals, and nighttime walkers, this becomes an invisible safety risk.

LEOTEK’s ComfortView™ human-centric lighting redefines illumination with patented low-glare optical technology.
Through an innovative dual-stage optical design, each beam of light is precisely diffused and softened, eliminating glare and dark spots. Whether you’re walking, driving, or enjoying community activities, ComfortView™ creates a naturally balanced lighting environment—like the gentle glow of dawn.
This is lighting that goes beyond brightness. It brings safety, comfort, and a sense of well-being to every corner of the city night.
 

Smart Scene Awareness

LEOTEK’s intelligent lighting adapts in real time to weather, time, and area usage—enhancing visibility and safety. With patented beam shaping and dynamic color temperature control, the system fine-tunes lighting based on environmental and traffic conditions, creating a more comfortable and responsive nighttime experience.

Compliant with Dark Sky Principles

By avoiding over-illumination, limiting high-angle light output, selecting appropriate color temperatures, and focusing light precisely where it's needed—with automatic dimming included—our technology promotes safer, more sustainable nighttime environments.

Fully Shielded Low-Glare Design

Based on international standards such as EN 13201 (EU) and IESNA RP-8 (USA), our luminaires offer a range of optical distributions from shielded to full cut-off. Specifically designed to meet urban roadway regulations in Taiwan, the low-glare design effectively limits high-angle light output (above 75°), reducing visual interference and enhancing safety for both pedestrians and drivers.

Patented Dual-Stage Optical Structure

Utilizing a patented dual-stage optical design that combines refraction and diffusion, our luminaires effectively suppress direct glare from LED sources while optimizing beam uniformity. This enhances visual comfort and significantly improves overall lighting quality.

Comprehensive Coverage with TYPE II–V Optics

Based on roadway configurations and application scenarios, our luminaires offer a full range of beam distribution options from TYPE II to TYPE V. These precision optics direct light exactly where it’s needed—covering roadways, sidewalks, and residential areas—to enhance lighting efficiency and overall safety.

Aesthetic and Environmentally Friendly Lighting

Incorporating low color temperature and low blue light sources, our luminaires help reduce ecological disruption and nighttime light pollution. Designed with both aesthetics and environmental responsibility in mind, they are ideal for urban areas, residential communities, and cultural districts.

Where Is ComfortView™ Technology Needed?

Any public agency, enterprise, or development organization that values nighttime safety, visual comfort, ecological sustainability, and compliance with international standards will benefit from adopting patented low-glare lighting and intelligent dimming technologies. In the near future, these solutions will become standard equipment for all modern cities and public infrastructure.

Technical Benefits and User Feedback

ComfortView™ low-glare technology is not only an optical breakthrough—it has also made a tangible impact on the nighttime quality of life for residents and drivers alike.

After implementation, many cities and communities have clearly experienced the following benefits.
  • Safer Nighttime Activities, Warmer Urban Atmosphere

    In Bath, USA, 90% of residents reported feeling more comfortable engaging in nighttime walks, exercise, and community activities after the new lighting was installed. The historic district now enjoys a warmer, more welcoming nighttime ambiance.

  • Significant Drop in Accident Rates, Enhanced Sense of Safety

    After implementing dual-color temperature low-glare lighting at 1,912 intersections in Taoyuan City, nighttime traffic accidents dropped by nearly 30%. A taxi driver shared, “I’m no longer blinded by harsh lights when entering intersections. I can react more calmly and safely—my mood and sense of security have greatly improved.”

  • Improved Resident Satisfaction and Urban Identity

    Whether in Boston’s community parks or Taiwan’s next-generation smart intersections, the adoption of low-glare lighting has led to increased nighttime outings, stronger community bonds, and a healthier, more welcoming urban image after dark.

These stories and data from around the world prove that ComfortView™ is more than just a technological upgrade. it’s a heartfelt guardian of nighttime well-being, thoughtfully designed for every individual.
