"There is a subset of the general population that is subject to health problems triggered by light exposure. This diverse group includes people who experience migraines and those who experience asthenopia, which is a constellation of symptoms of eye fatigue including dry eyes, itchy eyes, blurry vision and headache.

This investigation is an applied project to seek a lighting design solution that might be an effective intervention across the Government of Canada.
