Designing Light for Night Shift Workers: Application of Nonvisual Lighting Design Principles in an Industrial Production Line

Chronodisruption deteriorates the health and wellbeing of shift workers. Artificial light at night lack during day are major contributors to chronodisruption need be optimized in work scenarios. Here, we present one solution for a lighting automation system an industrial production workplace. The setting is rapidly rotating environment with morning, evening, shifts. We describe procedure specify new through software-agnostic nonvisual simulation artificial daylighting Through this process, luminaire created, called Drosa, that allows large melanopic stimulus range between 412 73 lx equivalent daylight (D65) illuminance vertically eye level, while maintaining neutral white task level 1250 900 lx, respectively. This possible combination glare-free spotlights adjustable areal wing lights. An individually programmed controls dosage timing night. relevant other scenarios, where presented example discussed rationale behind might provide insights. further scenarios beyond work, as process can adapted any context.
