Summary
This study examines user preferences for energy-efficient light sources compared to traditional incandescent bulbs in domestic settings, exploring the perceptual and visual comfort factors that drive attachment to warm light. Understanding these preferences is practically important for designing home lighting that balances energy efficiency with occupant satisfaction and wellbeing.
Key Findings
- Incandescent light sources are consistently preferred in domestic environments due to their warm color quality and perceived comfort.
- Energy-efficient alternatives face adoption barriers related to color quality and visual comfort rather than purely economic factors.
Categories
Sleep & Circadian Health: Domestic lighting preferences for incandescent (warm) light sources relate to spectral quality and potential circadian impact in home environments.
