Visual performance, visual comfort and aesthetics have always been considered the most important factors for architectural lighting design. But light is useful not just for vision. The current knowledge about the implications of the non-visual system on health and wellbeing is already evident, but further research on both renewed recommendations for healthful lighting and circadian or acute effects of light exposure, still needs to be pursued. Especially since contemporary trends on environmental considerations are heading to decrease indoor lighting levels, and daily life routines are driving us to spend less time outdoors and more at home or the workplace.
