Abstrakt: A real-time, feedback-capable, variable spectrum lighting system was recently installed at the University of New Mexico Hospital to facilitate biomedical research on the health impacts of lighting. The system consists of variable spectrum troffers, color sensors, occupancy sensors, and computing and communication infrastructure, and is the only such clinical facility in the US. The clinical environment posed special challenges for installation as well as for ongoing maintenance and operations. Pilot studies are currently underway to evaluate the effectiveness of the system to regulate circadian phase in subjects with delayed sleep-wake phase disorder.
