Lighting for the circadian lifestyle 🎞

📱 Seven places we encounter electric light.

Hi,

I recently noticed two trends in the circadian lifestyle community. This newsletter focuses on the Back-to-Nature side of things: candlelight, moonlight, daylighting, time outdoors, and other cost-free solutions. Beeswax, anyone?

Better technology is the other side of the circadian question. For example, our electric lighting regulations haven't changed much since the 1950's. At that time, we didn't have any research about the non-visual effects of light¹. We know a lot more now! Thus, all around the world, we are now retrofitting and setting new standards based on what we have learned.
