シャープは照明器具を用いて「健康」を提供しようとする新しいLED照明を3月16日に新発売する。2月21日に東京・新宿区の東京市ヶ谷ビルで新製品の発表会を開催し、同社常務執行役員健康・環境システム事業本部長の岡田守行氏は、「プラズマクラスター技術を搭載したエアコンや空気清浄機という『健康な空気』、ウオーターオーブンなどのHEALSIOシリーズで『健康な食』、そして、プラズマクラスターのドライヤーで保湿や静電気予防ができるという『健康な美』の3分野に加えて、『健康なあかり』という新しい提案を追加し、健康志向や節電意識が高まっている消費者ニーズに応えていきたい」と、新商品である「さくら色LED照明」の投入意図を語った。

同社が「照明色による人への影響」について研究を始めたのは2008年。2009年からは13色のカラーLED照明で人に与える影響を比較実験し、「薄紅色」が「幸せを感じる色」と特定。2011年に総合医科学研究所と共同で、薄紅色の照明色による「癒やし」と「睡眠」についての効果を検証。（1）気持ちが癒される、（2）快適感が高い、（3）寝つきが早い、（4）よく眠れる、（5）目覚めがよい――などの効果を確認した。そこで、同社が40年におよぶLED開発の経験を生かし、「寒色と暖色と赤色を調色することで、癒やしや安眠サポートの効果が高い『さくら色』のLED照明を開発した」という。

同社が製品化した「さくら色LED照明」は、深みのある「八重桜」と、淡い「ソメイヨシノ」。従来のLED照明にあった寒色から暖色までの10段階の調色に加えて、リモコンボタンで「八重桜」と「ソメイヨシノ」の専用ボタンを追加。リビング用のLEDシーリングライトとして8畳以下、12畳以下、14畳以下の3タイプを用意した。

同社では就寝前の1時間程度を「八重桜」色の照明の下で過ごすと、リラックスできて寝つきも良いことが実証結果からわかったという。また、さくら色の照明は、「長波長のあかりの影響から、白地に黒い文字がゴシックのように文字が大きく見える効果があり、目へのストレスも和らげるようだ」（LED照明事業部長の桃井恒浩氏）という。LEDによる「八重桜」「ソメイヨシノ」のさくら色発色については特許を申請中。「あかりの効果が実証された色」として、独占的に使用していく。「さくら色LED照明」はオープン価格。既存のLED照明器具が14畳タイプで6．5万円～7万円程度で販売されている実勢に対し、数千円～1万円程度の上乗せでの販売金額を見込んでいるとした。
