The Light and Health Alliance

The Light and Health Alliance is a collaboration among Members (manufacturers, government organizations and NGOs, codes and standards bodies) and practitioners, including architects, specifiers, medical facility managers and physicians, to enable the broad adoption of lighting for human health by producing factual information grounded in basic and applied research and by visualizing future applications.

Conduct evaluations, demonstrations, and research projects to develop practical devices and applications. Institutes to educate key audiences on light and health with a particular emphasis on developing quantitative lighting specifications. Presentations at conferences to promote the topic of light and health, and the Light and Health Alliance.

To bridge the science of light and health to practical applications, and to provide objective information grounded in basic and applied research.

Meetings to inform Members of the latest research activities, and discussions that would advance attention to light and health in the public sector. Forums to provide an intellectual and physical meeting place — a neutral ground for Members and practitioners to share important insights. Influence to shape the research agenda. Early presentations of research results. Generation of pilot data — an essential requirement for funding from the National Institutes of Health. Confidential research sponsored under separate contract and IP agreement.
