• Rebecca Weir (Creative Director at Light IQ)
• Stephen Lisk (Lighting Designer and current President of CIBSE)

The discussion ranged from the value of ‘human-centric’ and ‘circadian’ lighting to the effect of blue light at night on anticancer cells and DNA repair. The need for more research on lighting  was also discussed.  LightAware were able to contribute fully to this important discussion and bring up our concerns regarding lighting and health.
