Spectral Lighting: Novel Science Leads to Innovative NICU Design
It has been found that Opsins deep within the brain directly sense specific wavelengths of light that are found in sunlight but not in artificial lights. Coupled with other discoveries about the importance of circadian rhythms to human health led the idea for installing lights that could provide the full range of wavelengths found in natural sunlight.
