Chat at Catch: an Update on Circadian Lighting: Design Principles

We’ve been looking for a venue that can get us away from our desks and, hopefully, bring higher production values to the podcasts than we’ve got used to. So welcome to Catch at the Old Fish Market in Weymouth, where we can spread ourselves around, enjoy some fine conversation – and have access to some of the finest food in the South West; just in case you were wondering what the crabs in the image above are all about.
For our first Chat at Catch, I invited Dr. Shelley James to join us to talk about what’s happening in the world of circadian lighting – because things are changing.

Yes, it’s been an interesting year in the world of circadian lighting (I wonder . . . is there a World of Circadian Lighting? Oh, yes – its the one we already live in. Of course.).

Its just about a year since I started working with Shelley (Age of Light Innovations), investigating how we might produce a specification for retrofitting care homes with a properly biodynamic circadian lighting installation. In the process, we sat down with Prof. Russell Foster and his team at the Circadian Neuroscience Dept. of Oxford University. And that gave us access to the latest science . . . and that meant ripping up the assumptions that the lighting industry has been working from and pulling together an entirely new way of seeing things.

In this podcast, Shelley and I look at the latest research and what it means for circadian design principles.
