Light is necessary for life, and artificial light improves visual performance and safety, but
there is an increasing concern of the potential health and environmental impacts of light …

Architectural lighting has potent biological effects but applied lighting practices that
capitalize on this potential have been limited. In this review, we endeavor to consolidate and …

Ocular light exposure has important influences on human health and well-being through
modulation of circadian rhythms and sleep, as well as neuroendocrine and cognitive …

Ocular light drives a range of nonvisual responses in humans including suppression of
melatonin secretion and circadian phase resetting. These responses are driven by …

Classically the human life-course is characterized by youth, middle age and old age. A wide
range of biological, health and cognitive functions vary across this life-course. Here, using …

At its best, human-centric lighting considers the visual and non-visual effects of light in
support of positive human outcomes. At its worst, it is a marketing phrase used to …

Light around twilight provides the primary entrainment signal for circadian rhythms. Here we
review the mechanisms and responses of the mouse and human circadian systems to light …

Daylight stems solely from direct, scattered and reflected sunlight, and undergoes dynamic
changes in irradiance and spectral power composition due to latitude, time of day, time of …

The effects of indoor environmental conditions on human health, satisfaction, and
performance have been the focus of research for decades. This paper reviews and …

Light exerts a wide range of effects on mammalian physiology and behavior. As well as
synchronizing circadian rhythms to the external environment, light has been shown to …
