Blue-light hazard risk assessment for white-light sources
Guidance for a practical illuminance based assessment method
Light from screens and general lighting is almost always photobiologically safe. The use of high-power spotlights e. g. in structural and civil engineering, at events or large storage areas, however, can come along with a blue-light hazard. The associated workplace risk assessment often requires demanding and time-consuming radiance measurements. An alternative method based on illuminance and correlated color temperature is virtually as accurate but much more practical.
