Abstract

As we all know, by now, light is much more important than we thought. Is our non-visual system that regulates our physiological and biological systems through our circadian rhythm. Spectral properties of light are crucial to our pineal and pituitary glands, the first is responsible for melatonin production, whereas the second one is in charge for adrenalin, noradrenalin, and stress hormones production. There is a link and coordination between pineal and pituitary glands. We must know that spectral qualities of natural is different from artificial light. The present paper aims to study the “do’s and dont’s” of a lighting design in an indoor space (workplace). To achieve such objective the research will be conducted throughout literature review. We expect to conclude that the right balance should be our major goal, and by doing so we are contributing for our health and wellbeing.
