Mood lighting on an airplane

Mood lighting is igniting or illumination, designed to create a temporary state of mind or feeling.

Effects of lighting on humans

[edit]

Field studies have shown in office settings that blue-enriched lighting over the course of several weeks can lead to improved alertness, performance, and sleep quality in comparison to lighting with a lower color temperature.[1]

Effects of indoor lighting

[edit]

Indoor lighting can have a variety of effects on human subjects living within an artificial indoor environment. A study with ninety-six subjects, ages ranging from 18 to 55, were examined on how a variety of lighting could impact their mood and cognition. Subjects showed higher problem-solving abilities for females in a warm vs. cool white light source. The opposite result was shown for the male subjects.[2]

Types of mood lighting

[edit]

Mood lighting can come in several variations ranging from ambient, natural, or artificial lighting.[3]
