Human Factors in Lighting Peter Robert Boyce is an English-language printed study book aimed at professionals in lighting and ergonomics. It addresses human factors and the influence of light on people from both a visual and a non-visual perspective.
The book analyzes how lighting affects the performance of visual tasks, perception of spaces, comfort, behavior, and health. Central is the interplay of the visual and non-image-forming systems and the effects of light on the human body, including circadian rhythms. In addition, the environmental costs of lighting and light pollution are discussed.
The third edition includes new chapters on, among other topics, lighting for pedestrians and the relationship between light and electricity use. All chapters have been revised to incorporate recent scientific insights. This reference work aligns with fields such as ergonomics, engineering, and industrial safety.
