XICO

At XICO, we’re pairing an understanding of the science of light with the latest discoveries around human biology and circadian rhythm. We are working with various technological solutions to offer multiple options to the human-centric lighting space through standard fixtures and those specifically designed to target human biology.ContactXICO® Agents in USA XICO® Agents in Canada Company & Sales Contacts Visit XICO® Factory Submit Online InquiryCompanyOur Mission Our Team Our Capabilities Watch our Video XICO® NewsIn the 1970’s, Seymour Benzer and Ronald Konopka identified a gene they called “period”.
