Abstract

Summary

This paper addresses the hormonal dimension of interior lighting, focusing on how both classical photoreceptors and ipRGCs mediate light's effect on melatonin and circadian regulation. Practical implications include designing interior lighting that accounts for non-visual, ipRGC-driven responses to support occupant health and hormonal balance.
