Recommendation
The Government should commission research to establish how light intensity, wavelength, duration, time of exposure, light history and age affect the circadian system. This should move beyond laboratory-based studies and investigate more realistic light exposure patterns for humans. Such knowledge would provide an evidence base for guidelines that could mitigate the harmful effects of light pollution on human biology, including the circadian system, mood and alertness.
