The effects of good lighting extend much further than we used to think. Recent medical and biological research has consistently shown that light entering the human eyes has, apart from a visual effect, also an important non-visual biological effect on the human body. As a consequence, good lighting has a positive influence on health, well-being, alertness, and even on sleep quality. Our better understanding of the diversity in lighting effects teaches us that new rules governing the design of good and healthy lighting installations are required. Thanks to the recent discovery of a novel photoreceptor in the eye and its probable distribution within the eye we can now begin to define these new rules. These will guide us to dynamic lighting installations: that is to say dynamic in lighting level and dynamic in tint of whiteness of the lighting colour.
良好照明的影响比我们过去认为的要深远得多。最近的医学和生物学研究一致表明，进入人眼的光线除了具有视觉效果外，对人体还具有重要的非视觉生物学效应。因此，良好的照明对健康、幸福感、警觉性甚至睡眠质量都有积极影响。我们对照明效果多样性的更好理解告诉我们，需要有新的规则来指导良好且健康的照明装置设计。由于最近在眼睛中发现了一种新型光感受器及其在眼睛内可能的分布，我们现在可以开始定义这些新规则了。这些规则将引导我们设计出动态照明装置：也就是说，在照明水平和照明颜色的白色色调方面都是动态的。
