Zusammenfassung:[...]a review is timely due to emerging issues including energy efficiency, human health impacts (e.g., blue light hazard, circadian rhythm disruption, fatigue), human performance (e.g., visual performance, visual comfort) and environmental impacts (e.g., light pollution). [...]a standard (photometric) light meter alone cannot provide the necessary expanded metrics required to make an informed decision regarding lighting from LEDs (Ferrero, Velázquez, Pons et al., 2018; Nilsson, 1981). [...]a spectroradiometer (often incorrectly referred to as a spectrometer) is re quired in lieu of the photometric light meter that the OSH professional typically utilizes (CIE, 2011). [...]national level legislation, codes, standards and guidelines such as Energy Policy Act of 2005; Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007; American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineering (ASHRAE) standards 90.1-2016 and 189.1-2017 focus on specifying lighting watts/area or lumens/watt based on area usage or luminaire type. Useful lighting concepts and standards can obtained from a number of organizations including the U.S. Department of Energy, ASHRAE, CIE, IES, U.S. Green Building Council, International WELL Building Institute, CCOHS, EPA Energy Star Program, American Council of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation.
