Farhad will share some outcomes from research he is participating on Workplace Lighting in collaboration with the University College London to obtain data from case studies based on Human Centric lighting and Melanopic Lighting.
A study which is very much based both on the contribution towards wellbeing from Circadian Lighting in combination with Melanopic Lux to cater for both the quality of light and frequencies of particular wavelengths as well as the exposure to the quantity of light require to stimulate wellbeing thought the course of a normal working day.
At this stage of development within the lighting industry it is very difficult (or not obtainable) to obtain precise information on each product (there are exceptions) on the quantity of melanopic lux emitted from a LED light source. In most cases we require to use generic values to satisfy the Well Standards requirement to support the quantity of melanopic lux obtained within a proposed lighting scheme, therefore not fully accurate or valid.
It does now seem very apparent that catering for circadian lighting alone with the variation in colour temperature during the day cycle does not provide the full benefits of lighting for health and wellbeing and the contribution on the quantity of light at particular frequencies and amount of light entering the eye directly are key to factors to providing for a well-considered lighting scheme to support and increase the benefit to wellbeing of people within their workspace in offices and at home.
Farhad's colleague, Jean Hewitt will share her insights and some examples.
A fresh insight and opinion on a very actual topic.
