TL;DR: A new light-measurement strategy taking account of the complex photoreceptive inputs to these non-visual responses is proposed for use by researchers, and simple suggestions for artificial/architectural lighting are provided for regulatory authorities, lighting manufacturers, designers, and engineers.

The Role of Exercise-Induced Arousal and Exposure to Blue-Enriched Lighting on Vigilance.
Antonio Barba,Francisca Padilla,Antonio Luque-Casado,Antonio Luque-Casado,Daniel Sanabria,Ángel Correa +5 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the exercise-induced manipulation of arousal produced robust alerting effects in most measures, while the lighting manipulation only attenuated subjective sleepiness and enhanced positive affect, but it did not influence behavior or physiology.
Human-Centric Lighting Research and Policy in the Melanopsin Age
Manuel Spitschan,Daniel S. Joyce +1 more
TL;DR: Reviewing recent advances in understanding of NIF circuits in humans leads to proposed strategies to optimize electric lighting and lighting equity issues appear in the context of marginalized groups.

A low-cost and portable device for measuring spectrum of light source as a stimulus for the human’s circadian system
TL;DR: Although the neural network learned the pattern of the electric lighting’s SPDs effectively by an error of 17% in real-world conditions, it had a higher rate of error when it was exposed to daylight with unrecognizable patterns due to the complexity and uniqueness of the SPD.

Comparison of Static and Ambulatory Measurements of Illuminance and Spectral Composition That Can Be Used for Assessing Light Exposure in Real Working Environments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared two methods for measuring light exposure in real working environments: static field measurements of horizontal illuminance at the normal working position and spectral composition of the light radiation at the position of the eye in the normal angle of gaze.

- 29 Jul 2019
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that reflectance in short wavelengths has a large impact on melanopic illuminance and that surfaces impact melanopic response, but they are not considered in optimization studies.

Phototransduction by retinal ganglion cells that set the circadian clock.
TL;DR: It is shown that retinal ganglion cells innervating the SCN are intrinsically photosensitive, and depolarized in response to light even when all synaptic input from rods and cones was blocked.

Melanopsin-Containing Retinal Ganglion Cells: Architecture, Projections, and Intrinsic Photosensitivity
TL;DR: It is shown that melanopsin is present in cell bodies, dendrites, and proximal axonal segments of a subset of rat RGCs, most likely the visual pigment of phototransducing R GCs that set the circadian clock and initiate other non–image-forming visual functions.

Action Spectrum for Melatonin Regulation in Humans: Evidence for a Novel Circadian Photoreceptor
George C. Brainard,John P. Hanifin,Jeffrey M. Greeson,Brenda Byrne,Gena Glickman,Edward Gerner,Mark D. Rollag +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that, in humans, a single photopigment may be primarily responsible for melatonin suppression, and its peak absorbance appears to be distinct from that of rod and cone cellphotopigments for vision.

An action spectrum for melatonin suppression: evidence for a novel non‐rod, non‐cone photoreceptor system in humans
TL;DR: The data strongly support a primary role for a novel short‐wavelength photopigment in light‐induced melatonin suppression and provide the first direct evidence of a non‐rod, non‐cone photoreceptive system in humans.
