intelligent light and sound control for modern healing architecture
Advice on this product Technical detailsThe Schyns BHL Room Controller Gen. 2 was developed by Schyns specifically for use in healthcare – tailored to the technical and organisational requirements of modern hospitals and care facilities.
In contrast to cross-manufacturer combinations of individual components – which often have differing interfaces, software versions and parameterisation logic – Schyns provides a unified system solution that does not require an external programmer or additional tools.
It combines safety, reliability and intuitive operability with state-of-the-art lighting and sensor technology – optimised for the complex processes of everyday clinical life.
The control system is patent-pending and offers a practical, future-proof solution without additional third-party software or external parameterisation.
This eliminates the coordination between various suppliers that is otherwise often necessary, as well as the use of an external DALI programmer to set up complex lighting and function scenarios.
The result is a reliable, unified and low-maintenance control system that offers architects, planners and operators maximum safety and predictability.
The Schyns BHL room controller Gen. 2 is supplied fully pre-programmed: connect, switch on, use. There is no need at all for elaborate programming by external service providers or additional software. This significantly reduces installation effort, sources of error and costs. Another major advantage: the daylight curve and the reference points can be parameterised and adjusted via the integrated USB-C interface.
The Schyns BHL room controller Gen. 2 also provides full support for Schyns Biologic Health Light (BHL) and Human Centric Lighting (HCL). Biologically effective lighting sequences accompany the daily rhythm of patients and care staff alike and promote sleep quality, regeneration and emotional wellbeing.
In doing so, the control system harnesses the full performance range of the patented Schyns BHL system: it enables colour temperatures from 1,800 to 16,000 Kelvin and thus reproduces the complete physiologically relevant spectrum – from warm, calming evening light to activating daylight white.
The daylight simulation is based on 96 reference points per day, so that no simple, abrupt colour changes occur. Instead, colour temperature and brightness are adjusted continuously, in fine gradations and harmoniously. This creates a natural, daylight-like progression that has a noticeably positive effect on orientation, circadian stability and wellbeing.
An integrated connection to an optional external audio module for driving a structure-borne sound transducer or external loudspeaker extends the system with further applications, such as meditative soundscapes, relaxation programmes and gentle light/sound alarm clocks.
In addition, specific scenes can be stored for everyday clinical use, e.g. examination light, reading light, cleaning light, mint-green night light (particularly easy on the eyes and ideal for nightly rounds), calming light (with gentle, warm colour temperatures to reduce stress and restlessness) and activating light (with clear, bright and stimulating light colours to promote alertness and daytime activity).
Each scene can be precisely tailored to workflows, room structures and individual requirements.
The control system can be flexibly parameterised – without exotic special solutions. Standard programs can be used or adapted as required. A later update or replacement of the programming is easy and effortless thanks to the USB-C interface.
In the unlikely event of a fault, the control system can also be replaced easily via interchange-proof plug contacts, minimising downtime and reducing maintenance effort. This ensures a high degree of future-proofing, low downtime and quick adaptation to new requirements.
The Schyns BHL room controller Gen. 2 is KNX-compatible via its DALI interface and can therefore be integrated effortlessly into new buildings, modernisation projects or existing building automation systems.
Whether care, technology or equipment – small functions make the big difference in everyday use. Our solutions are thought through down to the last detail and developed for what really counts: smooth operation.
Our contribution to a more humane healthcare system
As part of interior design, we are responsible for ensuring that technical equipment and architectural atmosphere form a harmonious whole. This approach has guided us for many years – as Alphonse Schyns once said: A hospital does not have to look like a hospital. This idea continues to influence our work today. Our products are developed in collaboration with our customers. This direct exchange ensures that every solution works in the everyday environment of clinics and care facilities: clear, robust, hygienic, and well thought-out exactly where it matters most.
Our work follows the principles of healing architecture. We design spaces that provide tangible support to staff and patients, promote calm, and facilitate processes. This is not a fashionable concept, but an approach that has proven itself over decades.
The multisensory approach—healing architecture for all senses—is a central component of this. Light, acoustics, materials, haptics, and intuitive orientation are specifically coordinated to reduce stress, create clarity, and generate a tangibly soothing environment. This creates an atmosphere that is both professional and relaxing.
Our supply units fit seamlessly into this overall concept as an important component: ergonomic, hygienically designed, and durable. They support staff in their daily work and provide patients with safety and orientation.
This is how we combine technical precision, many years of experience, and a clear design philosophy—and consistently think ahead to the patient rooms of the future.
The bespoke concept offers an enormous variety of design options. Combining the numerous categories and options creates over 1,250 different variations - depending on which elements you select and how they are combined. This number shows the range of individual configurations that allows you to tailor your solution exactly to your needs.
