Optimising metameric spectra for integrative lighting to modulate the circadian system without affecting visual appearance

Abstract Smart integrative lighting systems aim to support human health and wellbeing by capitalising on the light-induced effects on circadian rhythms, sleep, and cognitive functions, while optimising the light’s visual aspects like colour fidelity, visual comfort, visual preference, and visibility...
