Display lighting systems with bioactive lighting
Bioactive display systems for displaying digital content. The display systems have one or more LED-based lighting channels adapted to generate one or more of a long red near infrared (LRNE) red light, a circadian-inducing blue light output in first operational mode and a less-circadian-inducing blue light output in a second operational mode. The bioactive lighting can have a first circadian-stimulating energy characteristic related to the associated first spectral power distributions of light generated in the first operational mode, and the non-circadian-inducing blue light can have a second circadian-stimulating energy characteristic related to the associated second spectral power distribution of light generated in the second operational mode.
