Light and Health Institute at LRC

The Light and Health Institute is a two-day seminar offered by the Lighting Research Center (LRC), for professionals in lighting, architecture, facility management, research, and healthcare, providing the latest research and knowledge necessary to design and utilize efficient lighting to benefit health and wellbeing. This hands-on seminar will explore light's effect on sleep, alertness, and performance, and illustrate how light can be used to improve conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, depression, and jet lag. The seminar will be held May 6-7 at the LRC in Troy, NY. Participants who register by April 15 will receive a Daysimeter (personal light measurement device) to wear for a two-week period prior to the Institute. During the Institute, LRC researchers will analyze the light exposure data collected and these participants will receive a report detailing their circadian entrainment during the two-week period.
