Welcome to LEDs Magazine’s Lighting for Health & Wellbeing newsletter for Jan. 30, 2023.

But responses from the lighting industry over the years have wavered depending on who you’re talking to — or whose work you’re reading. Lots of debate surrounds the development of metrics for circadian responsivity and impact of lighting on human nonvisual systems. My opinion is disagreement in that regard could have many manufacturers and specifiers holding their breath for a sea change.
