For years, the concept of "healthy lighting" has hovered on the periphery of mainstream adoption. Despite predictions that circadian lighting would become a multi-billion-dollar industry by 2022, the market still lags behind. In this compelling interview, Adam discusses the reasons behind the slow uptake and unveils the innovative solutions UL Solutions is pioneering to bridge this gap.

Adam explains how UL Solutions’ guidelines and tools, such as the UL Design Guideline 24480 and the Circadian Luminaire Score, are revolutionizing the way we think about lighting design. These tools not only help lighting designers create healthier spaces but also provide building owners with tangible metrics to evaluate and improve their lighting environments.

Discover how UL Solutions' services are helping manufacturers and designers meet the demand for healthier lighting solutions. Learn about the critical calculations behind circadian models and how these services are making it easier for the industry to adopt and implement circadian lighting effectively.

The aging eye and its influence on melanopic effects

Kevan Shaw, Lighting Consulting and Founder of KSLD. As the owner and operator of a pair of significantly aging eyes I have a considerable interest in how this effects my visual and non visual relationship with light. As a lighting designer who has been active for 50 years, I have had the idea that yellowing of the lens degrades visual performance significantly heavily promoted. Also, the idea that simply increasing illumination levels is a panacea that universally improves vision for the aged eye is the only solution.

Sunlight, UVB and vitamin D – Human Centric Lighting beyond melanopic stimulation

Ir. Rémy C. Broersma and Dr. Ir. Marcel P. Lucassen, Scientists at Signify Research Eindhoven UVB radiation initiates vital processes in our body, one of which is the production of vitamin D in the skin. It is well known that over-exposure to the sun may bring a risk. Less well known is that the same is true for insufficient sun exposure due to our indoor lifestyle. In Part 1 of this article, we first describe the scientific understanding behind vitamin D. In Part 2 we describe how artificial light can be enriched with a safe, low dose of UVB, to supplement natural vitamin D production in the skin. Not too much, not too little.
