Bright Light Exposure

Bright Light Exposure is a research construct in environmental health science that refers to the measurable intensity of outdoor ambient light, typically exceeding 1,000 lux, to which individuals are exposed and that distinguishes itself from general light exposure by its specific association with physiological and psychological outcomes such as circadian rhythm regulation, mood enhancement, and visual development.
