Abstract

Blue light in the range of 450-480nm has been proved to induce melatonin depression. However, the dose limit of blue light has seldom been reported in previous study. In this study, human factor experiments have been performed to compare lighting influence on melatonin emitting in lighting environments with correlated color temperature of 3000K and 5000K in ordinary illuminance. It is indicated that blue light below 300lux has little influence on melatonin depression in the lighting environment below 5000K. Consequently, illuminance is an important factor for trigger of non-visual photo-biology effect. In the lighting environment with illuminance below 3001ux, no distinctions can be found in the function of blue light induced melatonin depression between non-visual effect luminaires and ordinary luminaires.
