In addition to well-known factors such as brightness and illuminance, the conversation focuses heavily on the topic of light color and spectral composition. Dr. Klabes explains why light involves much more than just visual perception:

• Color Perception and Psychology: How lighting and color influence our mood and transform the atmosphere of a room.
• Non-visual Influence: How the spectrum and intensity of light synchronize our internal clock (the circadian rhythm).
• Everyday Application: Why the right lighting at the right time of day is crucial for our performance and healthy sleep.

The interview highlights how modern lighting technology can significantly improve our well-being.
