human factors in lighting

Human factors in lighting refer to designing lighting systems that align with how people perceive and respond to light, enhancing comfort, safety, and productivity. Good lighting considers aspects like brightness, color, and placement to reduce eye strain, improve focus, and support natural alertness rhythms. It also accounts for individual differences and the environment, ensuring lighting is adaptative and minimizes glare or shadows. Proper human-centered lighting helps create spaces where people feel comfortable, perform well, and experience fewer visual or mental fatigue issues.
