Abstract
The health effects of solid-state lighting products used in general lighting applications were reviewed by a team of international experts working under the 4E implementing agreement of the International Energy Agency (SSLC platform). Issues that concern both large fractions of the population and small sensitive groups were addressed considering acute effects on the eye and the skin, discomfort glare, circadian disruptions, neuro-behavioral effects, temporal light modulation, and long-term effects, including age-related macular degeneration, myopia, and cancer risk. This paper presents the conclusions and recommendations of the expert group. Knowledge gaps are detailed in each effect category.
