"This year we are introducing the I-Star Circadian System, featuring natural spectrum LED light fixtures integrated with our innovative wireless lighting controls and a programmable interface module," said Melissa Chen, vice president of I-Star Lighting. "The Circadian System lighting enables customers to program the light output of multiple fixtures to automatically adjust over the course of the day, and to wirelessly control their operation from a mobile device."

The I-Star Circadian System is an integrated LED lighting system with the following components:
• A series of 2' x 2' panel lighting fixtures that incorporate natural spectrum LEDs with light output that closely matches the spectrum of natural sunlight.
• Each light fixture connects wirelessly through an I-Star Bluetooth receiver, forming a mesh network that enables all the fixtures in the system to communicate with each other, as well with a central Bluetooth transmitter module and tunable dimmer control.
• I-Star's tunable white LED driver control module provides central dimming and color temperature adjustment for the light fixtures. These modules are available in both linear or rectangular form factors and interface with standard 0 – 10V dimmers.
• An I-Star Bluetooth transmitter mounted in a central location interfaces with standard 0 – 10V dimmer controls and photo sensors to provide a convenient user interface.
• Providing central control and user programmability is the I-Star Gateway programmable interface controller, which enables the user to program the overall lighting system to adjust color temperature and light intensity for specific times over the course of the day. The system can also be programmed to respond to the inputs from light sensors in the room.
• The I-Star Circadian System mobile app, available for IoS and Android devices, is used to commission the system, as well as to adjust the programming after installation.

CIE publishes Technical Report CIE 259:2026 on visual ergonomics for display equipment

The CIE has published Technical Report CIE 259:2026, "Visual Ergonomics, Lighting and Visual Display Equipment" (ISBN 978-3-902842-81-7, DOI 10.25039/TR.259.2026). The report updates guidance on display screens, reflecting advances in display and computing technologies and addressing newer personal devices, varied viewing positions, advanced control functions, and potential adverse effects of prolonged screen use. It consolidates peer-reviewed visual ergonomics principles for indoor work environments, covering user health, digital eyestrain, spectacle lenses, display characteristics, lighting and environmental modifications, and metrics-related issues. The 35-page report includes two tables and is available from the CIE Webshop and National Committees.

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.

Beyond tunable white: spectral control for circadian lighting in healthcare

Xavier Denis, Head of Technical Support and Technical Marketing at Nichia Europe. For readers working with Human Centric Lighting (HCL), the broad principles will be familiar. Light exposure impacts more than visual performance. Healthcare is an application where its timing, intensity and spectrum deserve particular attention.

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.
