Evaluating Potential Spectral Impacts of Various Artificial Lights on Melatonin Suppression, Photosynthesis, and Star Visibility
Figure 3
Constant lumen spectral power distributions.
A subset of the spectrum used in this paper is shown here. Pane (a) shows HID lamps, pane (b) illustrates white LEDs, (c) shows low blue content broadband LEDs and (d) shows thermalized spectra such as for halogen and incandescent lamps and our reference D65 illuminant from the Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage (CIE). D65 illuminant corresponds to a midday Sun in Western/Northern Europe with CCT∼6500 K. LED filtering was performed using the Equilib optical filter commercialized by Ledtech International.
