Overview:
Presently, there are numerous claims concerning the purported benefits of high CCT light sources, from increasing visual clarity, to saving energy, and improving human health. This presentation will provide a summary of current, consensus based research information concerning the relationship between high CCT light sources and existing performance claims, including claims of increased visual acuity, potential reductions in energy consumption, and claims related to human health.

Learning Objectives:

  • * Identify the spectral components of light sources
  • * Explore the research history
  • * Identify the relationship between light source technology and industry claims
  • * Present consensus based research findings
  • * Provide effective design strategies
