LUOX – melanopic EDI

Melanopic EDI etc

Melanopic EDI?

Currently, the scientists point to equivalent melanopic lux or melanopic EDI as the appropriate metric to use for daytime and nighttime circadian light exposure.

LOUX is a free-to-use,  CIE-validated webpage that offers you a way to calculate a variety of quantities related to human physiology.  LUOX helps to report the stimulus conditions involving light as an intervention in chronobiology, sleep research and environmental psychology experiments.

LUOX incorporates methods, formulae, spectral function calculations and spectra from the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). The CIE endorses this software having made a black-box evaluation of the software as of Feb. 11, 2021.

EXTRACT DATA FROM ANY VISO MEASUREMENT

All Viso systems allow you to extract data for use in LUOX via the Light Inspector software and the excel output option.
