Effect of color temperature on melatonin production for illumination of working environments

Effect of color temperature on melatonin production for illumination of working environments

We studied the influence of correlated color temperature (CCT) of 7 polychromatic white light illuminations (1600 K–14,000 K, 200 lx) in two experiments. Visual performance was tested in 17 students (8 men) during daytime. Visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and sleepiness did not vary with illumina...
