Abstract

Many researches have been done on the association of lighting and the effect on human. Lighting affect not only physiological condition regarding visual performance and regulation of hormone release in human but also psychological condition regarding human behaviours, mood and communication influenced by different characteristics of lighting such as colour, intensity, wavelengths and position. Many locations; rooms, pathways, buildings, rail tunnels, private and public areas, virtual environment was conducted on different conditions of lighting to explore the relationship between lighting and the effect on human. To arrange and design the environment appropriately lead to improve human performance, safety system and ergonomics issues, it is needed to understand how different characteristics of lighting affect on human.
