NIST Vision Science Lab: Illuminating the Way to Better Lighting

The video explores how lighting affects color perception and introduces the unique spectrally tunable lighting facility at NIST. This facility allows researchers to test various light spectra and their impact on object color, aiding manufacturers in creating efficient lighting solutions. The video also discusses the importance of LED technology for energy savings and the development of the color quality scale, which better aligns with human perception. Finally, it highlights the societal impact of lighting and the ongoing research at NIST to improve lighting standards.
