Welcome to LEDs Magazine’s Lighting for Health & Wellbeing newsletter for July 24, 2023. We cover several distinct aspects of lighting’s impact on wellbeing in this month’s edition. At the top, Mark Halper describes a new circadian technology study that will be carried out aboard the International Space Station. Yes, hundreds of miles above Earth, a tunable lighting system from Saga Space Architects will be used to regulate the day/night cycles that astronauts need for the best rest and focus during their time on board.

Also in this issue:

• Jenny Jones’ review of the latest International Solid-State Lighting Alliance report comes away with a continuing energy efficiency message, especially in developing economies.
• Lumileds’ announcement of its NightScape technology prioritizes dark-sky friendly lighting product development.
• Also, note what I’m listening to now: The “ICYMI Podcast” by our colleague Janelle Penny, editor-in-chief for BUILDINGS. Janelle surveys how buildings impact mental health and ways that facilities owners and managers can improve occupant wellbeing on varying scales of implementation.
