Summary
This paper analyzes new normative parameters for natural lighting in classrooms, incorporating spectral responses of rods, cones, and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) alongside nocturnal melatonin suppression metrics. The findings have practical implications for designing school lighting environments that support both visual performance and circadian health in students.
