Infrared (IR) and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths in lighting demonstrate a positive impact on overall health, including the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.
A significantly covered area involves IR and NIR wavelengths, which have traditionally been considered energy-inefficient and are not widely used in modern lighting. However, new research indicates that red light has beneficial effects on mitochondrial health, metabolism, and cell regeneration, positively influencing overall health and aiding in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.
Scientific findings highlight the negative effects of flicker in common LED lighting.
The document also warns about the dangers of LED flicker, which is often invisible but can cause fatigue, headaches, and diminished cognitive functions, especially in sensitive individuals (e.g., those with epilepsy or migraines).
Additionally, it emphasizes the need for regulations and standards to ensure higher-quality and healthier lighting, such as through the WELL Building Standard and other initiatives.
