    Light has biological effects on people by influencing levels of cortisol and melatonin hormones. There are two types of light-sensitive cells in the eye called rods and cones. Rods detect shape and movement while cones distinguish colors. Higher ambient light levels result in higher cortisol levels and alertness. Lighting color also impacts alertness, with blue light being more activating than red light. A newly discovered photoreceptor in the eye regulates melatonin suppression based on light spectrum. Dynamic lighting that adjusts intensity and color temperature throughout the day can support natural biological rhythms and improve well-being. Proper lighting levels and uniformity in the workplace can increase visual performance, safety, and productivity levels estimated
