Should blue light and conventional LED sources raise concerns about damage to the retina of the eye? New studies show that yes
Should blue light and conventional LED light sources raise concerns about retina damage? Are the current regulations sufficient? New studies from this year confirm the importance of LED light sources emitting the full spectrum with enough red. LED technologies have...
Dopamine and its role in circadian rhythm, or is it the other way around? Or how does circadian rhythm have to do with our mood
Nowadays, dopamine, which belongs to the group of so-called happy hormones, is mainly associated with reward and the following experience of joy and euphoria. However, dopamine also plays an important role in other physiological processes and behaviour. It is a...

Recommendations for daytime, evening, and nighttime indoor light exposure to best support physiology, sleep, and wakefulness in healthy adults
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...
