The human eye's response to light is non-linear: halving the light level does not halve the perceived brightness of a space, it makes it look only slightly dimmer. [3] [4] If light is redistributed from the brightest parts of a room to the dimmest, the room therefore appears brighter overall, and more space can be given a useful and comfortable level of illumination (see before and after ...

[ 27 ] [ 44 ] [ 45 ] [ 46 ] Some artificial light sources are marketed which have a spectrum similar to that of sunlight, at least in the human visible spectrum range, [ 47 ] [ 48 ] [ 49 ] as well as low ...
The spectrum of light emitted from a fluorescent lamp is the combination of light directly emitted by the mercury vapor, and light emitted by the phosphorescent coating. The spectral lines from the mercury emission and the phosphorescence effect give a combined spectral distribution of light that is different from those produced by incandescent ...
