Lights Should Support Circadian Rhythms: Evidence-Based Scientific Consensus
For over a hundred years, the lighting industry has primarily been driven by illumination aesthetics, energy efficiency and product cost with little consideration of the effects of light on health. The recent widespread replacement of traditional light sources by...
Cambridge Melanopsin Vision
Photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGGs) are the most recently discovered photoreceptor class in the human retina. It reveals contemporary and emerging lighting technologies as powerful tools to set mind, brain and behaviour. This Element integrates new...
The effects of low-color-temperature dual-primary-color lightemitting diodes on three kinds of retinal cells
Long-term illumination of the retina with blue-light-excited phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (LEDs) may result in decreased retinal function, even if the levels of blue light emitted are low. New low-color-temperature dual-primary-colorcLEDs have been...

Effects of Near-Infrared Light on Well-Being and Health in Human Subjects with Mild Sleep-Related Complaints: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study
STATEMENT of International Commission of Illumination (CIE): IS LIGHT WITH LACK OF RED SPECTRAL COMPONENTS A RISK FACTOR FOR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (AMD)
Intense blue spectral light components pose a short-term risk to the retina, called blue light hazard (BLH). However, there are some scientific papers reporting good therapeutic results in patients with AMD by the use of a therapy called “photobiomodulation”. ...
