Webinar: LED Street Lighting Colour Temperature and Health Impacts

Organization:
Transportation Association of Canada
Location:
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Start Date:
November 9, 2017
End Date:
November 9, 2017
Description
This webinar will provide information about the colour temperature and health impact of LEDs based on recent research. A review of spectral content and melonopic lux for various colour temperatures will also be discussed. A number of jurisdictions that own and operate street lighting systems have chosen energy-efficient LED technology to reduce energy consumption and protect the environment. LEDs have a longer life span and improved physical robustness over incandescent light sources. However, there have been concerns and issues about the health impact of LED lighting due to its colour temperature.

Agenda

  • Introduction to fundamental concepts of LED lighting technology
