TLDR
The findings are that LEDs with lower CRI values at warm color temperatures and LEDs with higher CRIvalues at cool temperatures provide the right level of color attributes for office lighting.Abstract:
In this study, two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of the color rendering index (CRI) and correlated color temperature (CCT) of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting on office user acceptance and to explore the proper color attributes for human-centric office lighting. Experiment 1 had four LED lights, with two levels for the CRI (CRI < 80: 79, 76; or CRI ≥ 80: 83, 84) and CCT (3000 K or 6500 K) at 300 lux. In experiment 2, there were four LED lights, with several levels for the CRI (CRI < 80: 78; or CRI ≥ 80: 87, 83) and CCT (3000 K or 6500 K) at 500 lux. Ninety-six participants in experiment 1 and ninety-four participants in experiment 2 performed a reading task. The results in experiment 1 and experiment 2 showed that LEDs with lower CRI values at warm color temperatures were rated as more acceptable than LEDs with higher CRI values at warm color temperatures. However, the positive effect extended to LEDs with higher CRI values at cool temperatures but not to LEDs with lower CRI values at cool temperatures. Therefore, the findings are that LEDs with lower CRI values at warm color temperatures and LEDs with higher CRI values at cool temperatures provide the right level of color attributes for office lighting.read more

Color-temperature dependence of indoor organic photovoltaic performance
TL;DR: In this paper , the performance of photovoltaic devices under indoor lighting depends on the correlated color temperatures (CCTs) of the light sources but has not been examined previously; the results show that active layer absorption in the blue LED emission region determines the short-circuit current density (J sc ) increase from 3000 K to 6000 K CCT; the more the active layer absorbs at 450 nm, the larger the J sc increase under higher CCTs.

Phototransduction by retinal ganglion cells that set the circadian clock.
TL;DR: It is shown that retinal ganglion cells innervating the SCN are intrinsically photosensitive, and depolarized in response to light even when all synaptic input from rods and cones was blocked.

TL;DR: A new light-measurement strategy taking account of the complex photoreceptive inputs to these non-visual responses is proposed for use by researchers, and simple suggestions for artificial/architectural lighting are provided for regulatory authorities, lighting manufacturers, designers, and engineers.
