Method of regulating blue lighting in command centers

A method of optimizing blue light in a work space comprising:

• installing a plurality of lights having a white light component and a blue light component in a working area;
• configuring a central processing engine for varying the intensity of one or more lights in said plurality lights based on one or more lighting optimization instruction;
• coupling a plurality of sub-modules with said central processing engine, wherein said sub-modules are configured for gathering data related to the blue lighting needs of working environment and configured for communicating said gathered data to the central processing engine;
• gathering time-related inputs from a time-related sub-module;
• gathering task-related inputs from a task-related sub-module;
• gathering awareness-related inputs from an awareness module;
• gathering light level inputs from a photosensor module;
• delivering gathered inputs to said central processing engine;
• assembling, by said central processing engine, a control signal using the gathered inputs according to one or more lighting optimization instruction;
• delivering said lighting control signal to at least a subset of said plurality of lights;
• and controlling the blue light levels of said subset of said plurality of lights.

A lighting system comprising:

• a plurality of lights placed within a working environment configured for illuminating said working environment with both white light and blue light said plurality of lights further comprising:
• general lighting configured to illuminate a large area within said working environment;
• task lighting configured to illuminate a particular area within said working environment;
• and
• display area lighting configured for emitting softening light around the periphery of a display;
• a processing module, comprising a processor operatively coupled with a memory;
• a plurality of sub-modules operatively coupled with said processing module and configured for gathering data related to the lighting needs of said working environment and for communicating said data to said processing module;
• wherein said sub-modules comprise each of:
• a time regulator module configured for at least one of gathering shift times for personnel or gathering local times of remote areas monitored by personnel;
• a task regulator module configured for gathering data on movement of personnel into and out of said working environment;
• an awareness regulator module configured for gathering data from one or more alertness sensors;
• and
• a photosensor regulator module configured for gathering data from one or more photosensors positioned within said working environment;
• wherein said processor is configured for receiving data gathered from sub-modules, forming one or more lighting control signals based on one or more stored lighting optimization instructions, and transmitting said lighting control signals to vary the intensity of at least one light from among said plurality of said lights.
