Effects of realistic office daylighting and electric lighting conditions on visual comfort, alertness and mood
Lighting conditions in workplaces contribute to a variety of factors related to work satisfaction, productivity and well-being. We tested whether different photometric variables also influence visual perception and the comfort of the lighting, as well as subjective...Study Says Natural Classroom Lighting Can Aid Achievemen

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)
Abstract: 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...Buďte s námi
