Research report on measuring the effect of different LED light sources on the retinal cells of the eye.
In the experiment, significantly different effect of radiation from different LED sources on apoptosis (short wavelengths of the light spectrum) and regeneration (long wavelengths of the light spectrum) of retinal cells were found. Full document in PDF...

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...

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”. ...
Science behind the danger of blue light to the retina
Light is part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum and, while vital for life on earth and necessary for vision, it carries energy that can be damaging, specifically to the region of the retina called the macula where light is best focussed....
OP20 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). For this photochemically-induced retinal injury spectral weighting functions and applicable limit values are established. However, scientific evidence about...Follow us
