The seminar: Circadian Rhythms for Health will take place on January 11th in Sacramento, CA, United States. Lighting affects our health in ways you will be surprised to learn about. Designers, office managers, school, and all facilites need to be aware of the light spectrum and intensity’s affect on human health.

You will understand the importance of lighting spectrum for health and about non-visual effects of light. You will learn about availability of new systems with new potential applications and benefits for LED lighting systems in healthcare, education, residential, and other types of facilities.
