BIOS Lighting

Biological Innovations and Optimization Systems, LLC (BIOS) a NASA spinoff, is a recognized innovator in the biological application of LED lighting for people and plants. By integrating years of biological expertise, with science first developed for the International Space Station, BIOS is driving the circadian lighting market with a biology-first approach and brilliant quality LEDs that can help contribute to WELL™ Building Standards.

Natural light is the essence of life itself, a biological necessity for the growth and well-being of plants and humans alike. At BIOS, we create biological lighting solutions that bring the natural brilliance of the outdoors where it’s needed most-for human health, plant growth, and beyond.

As a team of former NASA scientists, defying limits is in our DNA. During our time with NASA, we created technologies that provide astronauts with the natural light they lack during space exploration. But our drive to build biological lighting didn’t end there. Today, we’re using these discoveries to redefine what’s possible for human and plant life here on Earth.

Our roots have deep ties to the Space Life Sciences Lab (SLSL) and Kennedy Center where the team lead lighting projects to grow plants in space and to help astronauts regulate sleep patterns on the International Space Station where the sun rises and sets every 90 minutes orbiting the Earth.

At Bios, we solve problems with science. Using a biology-first approach, we look at plants on a cellular level to identify the very best spectrum to optimize growth across all phases of cultivation. We continuously ask what growers need. We get answers, we create solutions, then build products that not only offer your plants the exact spectrum they need, but fixes issues that growers face everyday. Moisture, durability, set up, fading output, bulkiness, control options, longevity, and mounting flexibility may have been problems before… considered them solved with Bios. We always start with science and nature— so your plants will love our lights.

Circadian rhythms are the cornerstone of health and wellness. We make better lights for better health. BIOS focuses on various biological pathways for the best benefit in our wellness products. BIOS Circadian lighting technology inspired by our work with NASA and decade’s worth of research on the impact of light on human health and well-being. Our proprietary spectrum closely matches nature, so you sleep better at night and have more energy during the day. Energizing light for your day spaces. Sleep-supporting light for your night spaces. And dynamic lighting solutions for spaces that do it all.

We rely on proven science to create a spectrum that makes a difference. Our SkyBlue technology peaks where the greatest melanopic and skin-based responses occur for elevated energy, performance, and health.
