In the theatrical performance world, the lighting designer controls and supports the mood of the performance
moment by moment using a composition of intensity, colors and angles of light provided by specialized lighting
equipment. However, outside of the theater in the real world, the lighting choices are taken for granted from the
day a building’s construction is complete to the day of its renovation. As a result, older buildings have outdated
lighting equipment that does not support contemporary human needs. Previous research has proved that lighting
intensity, color temperature and wavelength have the connection with human melatonin concentration, secretion
and suppression in nocturnal circadian rhythm. This article aims to demonstrate how lighting intensity, color
temperature and wavelength affect melatonin concentration which is connected human well-being. The
importance of lighting design in our daily lives and well-being should no longer be dismissed. |
