Illuminate Your Knowledge: The Impact of Low-Power Lights on Your Eyes and Brain

Hey there, Tumblr fam! Let's dive into something illuminating today – the fascinating world of low-power lights and their effects on our precious eyes and brilliant brains.

🌟Did you know that the type of light we're exposed to can influence our health and well-being? It's true! Whether it's the soft glow of your bedside lamp or the calming light of your e-reader, here's how it all works:

🔵 Low-power lights emit a gentler, warmer spectrum of light that's less harsh on your eyes. This means reduced strain during late-night reading sessions or when scrolling through your favourite Tumblr blogs in the dark!

🌙 But it's not just about comfort; it's about sleep quality too! Low-power lights, like warm white LEDs, have been shown to have less impact on your circadian rhythm, making it easier for you to fall asleep when you're ready.

The beginning of another eventful week...

A lecture on what begins as learning the mathematics behind reflections, sources of light and surfaces and identifying the basics of visual attributes, decends into chaos as we try to comprehend that colour is a construct of minute structural compositions which alter the was in which light is reflected and absorbed by a material therefore altering the way in which we percieve something to be a certain colour.

And this decent started off with the mind-boggling undestanding that colour is a percieved form of identification, subjective to each individual as it is based on our perceptual system whilst being bound by the state of our collective knowledge. Colour DOES NOT exist outside of perception.

To not only makes matters worse, the shocking revelation of a study showed that the slight variation of a the structure in butterfly wings alter the way in which light is reflected and absorbed therefore altering the way we percieve its colours. 😲😲😲

A follow up, late post on Thursdays lesson was a in-depth lecture on dissertation research and writing, which I should start btw. A demonstration of the UTS Data Arena, which was the closest experience of VR I have ever had. And honestly the highlight of the day and one of the coolest things so far this year.

We delved into the theoretical unravelling as to what is light through identifying what isn't light. And like many things, the term 'light' is ever evolving as its definition is difficult to convey in words alone. We gather the definition of light based on the knowledge of what we consider is.
