LED Lighting (350-650nm) Undermines Human Visual Performance Unless Supplemented by Wider Spectra (400-1500nm+) Like Daylight
January 26th, 2026Via: Scientific Reports: Life evolved under broad spectrum sunlight, from ultraviolet to infrared (300–2500 nm). This spectrally balanced light sculpted life’s physiology and metabolism. But modern lighting has recently become dominated by restricted spectrum light emitting diodes (350–650 nm LEDs). Absence of longer wavelengths in LEDs and their short wavelength dominance impacts physiology, undermining normal […]
