Post-Occupancy Evaluation of Office Lighting – What Can We Learn from Light-Dosimetry?

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Integrative lighting design aims to support human health and wellbeing by considering the visual and nonvisual effects light has on building occupants. Given that nonvisual responses depend on the amount and pattern of light received at the eye over time, ...

Tracing the (in)visible: Methodological advances in light-dosimetry to support integrative lighting research

Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Modern life, predominantly spent indoors, has profoundly altered natural patterns of light exposure, including the intensity, spectral composition, and timing of light that humans experience daily. These changes are particularly relevant given the growing ...

Multi‐Wearable Approach for Monitoring Diurnal Light Exposure and Body Rhythms in Nightshift Workers

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

AimAs our understanding of light's impact on human health grows, studies examining light exposure and related health outcomes in everyday settings are increasingly important, particularly in high‐risk groups like nightshift workers.MethodsIn this observati ...

Identification of Spectral Distributions in Light-Dosimetry Data: Methodology and Application to an Intervention Field Study

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Modern life in predominantly indoor environments has led to a profound alteration in the amount, spectral distribution, and pattern of light humans are exposed to daily. Given the role of light in health and well-being, and to understand how modern living ...

Exploring spatiotemporal dynamics in light-dosimetry

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Light-dosimetry aims to measure personal light exposure in real-life settings, allowing to investigate the role of light in visual, physiological, and behavioural processes. One aspect not yet considered in light-dosimetry is the spatial distribution of li ...

Towards a framework for light-dosimetry studies: Methodological considerations

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer, Forrest Simon Webler

For field research of non-visual effects of light, accurate measurement of personal light exposure is required. A consensus framework for light-dosimetry could improve non-visual field research and ensure comparability between studies. Here, we present a r ...

Towards a framework for light-dosimetry studies: Quantification metrics

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Light dosimetry aims to measure personal light exposure with wearable sensors, which is a complex multistep procedure. The resulting data may be used to investigate non-visual effects of light in real-life settings, to validate laboratory findings and answ ...

Exploring light exposure of hospital nurses working rapidly rotating shifts in relation to sleepiness and sleep

Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Nightshift work can negatively impact sleep, performance, and health. Careful manipulation of light exposure patterns can help reduce these negative effects but is challenging in conditions of rapidly rotating shiftwork and due to individual differences. A ...
