Products aimed at light-sensitive people are part of the wider picture of the way people react to different lighting technologies.
LightAware receives no financial gain from listing some of these products. The charity would, however, be interested to hear from people who have tried using products to lessen the effects of lighting on their skin or nervous system, whether successful or otherwise. Please contact us on info@lightaware.org
