Summary
This Italian study examines the photobiological properties of new artificial light sources, focusing on how they stimulate intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) and their circadian and perceptual effects. The findings are relevant for lighting designers seeking to select light sources that appropriately balance visual performance with circadian health outcomes.
