Bright light at night can cause sleep disorders and other health concerns. But electric light can also be the solution to keeping our circadian rhythms on track. Join Raelle Bell and Liz Ware with the American Lighting Association as they chat with Mark Rea and Jennifer Brons from the Mount Sinai Light and Health Research Center about how bad lighting can have a negative impact on our health. This episode is sponsored by HINKLEY. Show Notes Mark S. Rea, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Department of Population Health Science and Policy at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He was formerly Professor of Architecture and Cognitive Sciences at the Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and served as LRC Director from 1988 to 2017. Dr. Rea is well known for his research in circadian photobiology, mesopic vision, psychological responses to light, lighting engineering, and visual performance. He is the author of more than 250 scientific and technical articles related to vision, lighting engineering, and human factors and was the editor-in-chief of the 8th and 9th editions of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Lighting Handbook. His recent book Value Metrics for Better Lighting brings together a wide range of research to illustrate how the effective use of light can benefit society and the environment. Jennifer Brons, MS, LC, Educator IALD, earned her bachelor's degree in architecture from the University of California- Berkeley and her MS in Lighting from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Since 1997, her work has focused on lighting design applications and human factor studies for new lighting technologies. Over her more than 20-year career, Ms. Brons has developed lighting designs and specifications for a wide variety of commercial and residential clients. After practicing lighting design on sabbatical in London, she taught lighting design as part of the MS in Lighting degree program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for more than 10 years. In addition to her design and research activities, she develops educational material about the more effective use of light.

Randy Reid discusses the DOE/IES Workshop, Bill Attardi's Energy Watch News, Get-a-Grip's interview with Dr. Mark Rea and the IALD President's statement that deals with core values.
Professor Mark Rea is getting ready to move from the Lighting Research Center to the Light and Health Research Center at Mt Sinai, but before that he joins us to discuss his latest report on UV disinfection products (read that here: https://www.lrc.rpi.edu/programs/nlpip/publicationDetails.asp?id=949&type=2 ). He goes into detail about wavelengths, devices, safety tolerances, application issues, concerns about breeding superbugs, the value of not saying the word radiation too loud, and other engineering and measurement questions. We as an industry will be talking more and more about health and wellness, and that comes with preventing illness as much as does with improving circadian rhythms.
Randy Reid discusses a study that shows the relation between lighting and taste perception, the article by Mark Rea on designing lighting, and Cooper Lighting's new rep.
We turn to photobiology for answers on how to produce healthier crops. Special Guests: Arne Stensvand and Mark Rea.
The purpose of this article is to evaluate from a biological standpoint the rationale for the establishment of a Circadian Lighting standard put forward by UL under the direction of Dr. Mark Rea of the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. This critique is limited in scope but also applies to utilization of the Circadian Stimulus (CS) calculator also developed by the LRC.
Mark Rea discusses the state of lighting education today, the need for revised discussion on lighting metrics, levels and need for action now. Trailblazers and Icons is an inspiring and informative series of interviews with some of the lighting communities’ most recognized thought leaders, teachers and practitioners and others. The interviews, conducted by IES Fellow Daniel Blitzer, elicit from each interviewee their major contributions to lighting and their perspective on some of the major issues currently facing the lighting industry. Additional interviews will be added to the series each year with a handful of others who have blazed a trail in lighting.
Tom and Kevin sit down with Mark Rea of Rea Home Inspections to get into why home inspections are such a key element to property investments, and Mark shares some of his best stories from the 8,500 homes he has inspected over the years
