Summary
This paper discusses the proceedings of the Experiencing Light 2014 conference, which focused on the effects of light on well-being.
Categories
Well-being: The conference focused on the effects of light on well-being, discussing topics such as the impact of light on mood, emotions, comfort, performance, and physical and mental health.
Lighting Design Considerations: The conference included discussions on lighting design considerations, including the use of LED and fluorescent light scenes, the impact of illuminance and color temperature on social interaction, and the use of lighting controls in open offices.
Cognitive function and memory: One study presented at the conference explored the effects of daytime bright light exposure on memory task performance.
Sleep and insomnia: The conference included discussions on the impact of light exposure patterns on sleep and insomnia.
Alertness and performance: The conference discussed the impact of light on alertness and performance, including a study on the effects of daytime bright light exposure on memory task performance.
