The main aim of this article is to determine a suitable proportion and shape for monitor skylights, which are characterized mainly by two opposite vertical openings fixed by a reflector of variable shape, for ensuring maximum illuminance on the work plane within a room. This type of skylight has a reflector, which is usually rectangular,...

The current scenario of colorimetry shows a wide variety of different metrics which do not converge in the assessment of the color rendering of light sources. The limitations of the Color Rendering Index have promoted the emergence of new metrics, such as the Color Quality Scale. As in the case of the previous metric, these new concepts are...

Light is the major synchronizer of circadian rhythms to the 24-hour solar day. Compared to the visual system, the circadian system requires more light to be activated and is more sensitive to short-wavelength light. Without access to daylight, or electric lighting providing comparable amount, spectrum, distribution, duration, and timing, human...
