Subtle white light changes make indoor rooms feel cooler or warmer: blue-enriched white light made people feel cool enough to tolerate indoor temperatures 1.3°F (0.72°C) warmer, while red-enriched white light made them feel warmer without any visible difference…
💡 Research from Penn State reveals that subtle variations in white light, undetectable to the human eye, can alter perceived indoor temperatures by up to 1.3°F.
🌡️ Blue-enriched white light makes people feel cooler, allowing tolerance of warmer air, while red-enriched light has the opposite effect.
🏠 This discovery could lead to energy savings by widening thermal comfort zones without altering the appearance of lighting, making it practical for everyday use.
