We are happy to be part of the Light for Public Health Initiative. It truly supports our vision and reinforces our message about evidence-based public health communication on the non-visual effects of ocular light exposure.

Light is a powerful signal for the body, influencing our circadian rhythms, sleep, mood, and cognitive performance. It’s not just about how bright the light is, timing and type also matter. The right light at the right time. Daylight in the morning and during the day – or electrc light that compensates for the lack of daylight - supports various aspects of health, while exposure to light at night can be disruptive. Managing light exposure is part of a healthy lifestyle, just like diet, exercise, and sleep hygiene.
Together with the major institutions Center for Environmental Therapeutics, Cie, DLA, Good Light Group and SLRCH, we hope to spread this message more widely and raise awareness of how important good lighting is for sleep, health, and overall wellbeing.
