Summary
This paper uses simulation methods to evaluate human-centric lighting performance in tropical hospital environments, grounding the analysis in ipRGC-based photoreception science. The findings are intended to guide lighting design decisions that better support circadian health and patient recovery in hospital settings within tropical climates.
