Innovative LED Lighting Protocol Cuts Risk of Seniors Falling in Long-term Care Facilities by 43 Percent
A first-of-its-kind, two-year study conducted by investigators at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Midwest Lighting Institute (MLI), showed a significant 43 percent reduction in the rate of falls in residents at long-term care facilities that utilized a tunable LED lighting system compared to control facilities that maintained standard lighting.

LIGHTING, MEET SCIENCE
Light exerts powerful effects on the brain and on our well-being. It is not only required for vision but is also essential for a wide range of “non-visual” functions including synchronization of our biological clock to the 24h day-night cycle. A novel photoreceptor has now been shown to be an essential component for relaying light information to a set of so-called non-visual centers in the brain.
