It has been shown that lighting can have an effect on human health, cognition, perception and behavior. There is a gap in the literature pertaining to the effects of light emitting diode (LED) technology on humans, and a gap on lighting in military living environments. This is especially important considering that current research and design efforts are attempting to distinguish whether newer LED lighting technologies are the best choice for military use. Building on past work, the current study examines effects of LED and fluorescent lighting technologies on military relevant tasks in an attempt to examine how lighting may alleviate certain military stressors (workload, interpersonal conflict, concerns about living conditions). Results of this study add to the research base comparing LED and fluorescent lighting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
