Lighting Science has released significant findings from a study entitled “The effects of spectral tuning of evening ambient light on melatonin suppression, alertness and sleep,” published in the medical journal Physiology and Behavior. Conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the study demonstrates that selectively reducing short-wavelength blue light in evening lighting can diminish alertness and melatonin suppression, helping improve sleep quality. The C-LED technology developed by Lighting Science targets specific wavelengths critical to circadian function without distorting colors, showcasing the potential of tailored lighting to positively influence health in various settings, from homes to hospitals and schools. Chief Technology Officer Fred Maxik emphasized the importance of scientific innovation in lighting design, while researcher Dr. Steven Lockley noted the significant implications of their findings for reducing circadian disruption before bedtime.
