Light as a biological essence or what HCL, which only changes the color tone of the illumination (CCT), cannot do
In recent years, the term “Human Centric Lighting” has come to the attention of architects, designers, luminaire manufacturers and customers in the context of lighting. Human Centric Lighting (HCL) or also “Integrative Lighting” as defined by...

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...
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...
