Melanopic Lighting

Melanopic Lighting is a human-centric lighting approach that systematically modulates the spectral content of light to specifically influence non-visual physiological responses through the activation of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, distinguished by its quantification relative to the melanopic sensitivity function of the human circadian system.
