Several biological benefits of the low color temperature light-emitting diodes based normal indoor lighting source

Abstract

Currently, light pollution has become a nonnegligible issue in our daily life. Artificial light sources with high color temperature were deem to be the major pollution source, which could induce several adverse effects on human’s health. In our previous research, we have firstly developed an artificial indoor light with low color temperature (1900 K). However, the biological effects of this artificial light on human’s health are unclear. Here, four artificial lights (1900 K, 3000 K, 4000 K and 6600 K) were used to evaluate some biological changes in both human (in total 152 person-times) and murine models. Compared with other three high color temperature artificial lights, our lights (1900 K) presented a positive effect on promoting the secreting of melatonin and glutamate, protecting human’s eyes, accelerating would healing and hair regeneration. These systematical studies indicated that the proposed low color temperature (1900 K) light could provide several significant benefits in human’s daily life.

Specialty Space: Breast Care Centers

“…This type of light can come from natural sources and be reflected into a space, or can come from artificial lighting that is discretely placed, which is why it is something of a middle ground. Indirect light is important because it can decrease some of the stress on the eyes that natural or artificial light can cause (Lin et al, 2019). With indirect light, the patient sees an already diffused source of light, meaning its brightness and intensity are lower to begin with.…”

“…The clearest option is to add a variety of windows including skylights or outdoor spaces (Makram & Razek, n.d.). However, the placement of windows is important, as the ideal natural lighting maximizes daylight entering the building, without causing glare or other distortion (Lin et al, 2019). Ideally, every space in the building will have some form of natural light, in order to improve patient mood and outcomes (Rea, 2018).…”

A Critical Review on Antimicrobial Photodynamic Inactivation Using Light Emitting Diode (LED)

“…Thus, the requirement of high grade of light and energy effective in the household and many sectors paves the way for the development of LED technology (Perdahci et al, 2018). During the last years, the furtherance of LED technology led to playing a crucial role in the day-to-day life of the human (Lin et al, 2019). This solid-state device is highly efficient, reliable, and durable over the other forms of the lighting system, which results in the rapid growth of the LED industry (Soh et al, 2017).…”

Low color temperature artificial lighting can slow myopia development: long-term study using juvenile monkeys

“…A high CCT usually indicates richness in short wavelength components, while a low CCT indicates dominance of long wavelength components. Regarding effects on human subjects, most studies have explored the impact of CCT on visual comfort and fatigue under different arti cial lighting conditions [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] , with the relationship between CCT and myopia development yet to be clari ed. No direct study on the relationship between daily lighting CCT and myopia development in animals either.…”
