DEVICE

Visible light

We will compare the effects of two light sources, equated for visual stimulus (lux), on multiple non-visual responses to light including melatonin suppression before bedtime. We will compare a 90 lux exposure of a commercially available Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) with a novel LED white light source that is depleted in the short-wavelength visible range (Biological Illumination LCC, FL).
