Invited comment on “The law of reciprocity holds (more or less) for circadian-effective lighting”, by M Rea, accepted for publication in LRT 2022.
Summary:
The paper discusses the relationship between the amount of light and the duration of light exposure in relation to circadian-effective lighting, and how this can be used in lighting design to support circadian entrainment.
Categories
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses how the relationship between light level and duration of exposure can be used in lighting design to provide circadian-effective lighting.
- Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the impact of light exposure on the regulation of melatonin, a hormone that plays a key role in the circadian rhythm.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper indirectly discusses this category through its focus on circadian rhythms, which have been shown to impact cognitive function and memory.
