Population Based Lighting Study on Older Adults
Sponsor: Azienda Usl di Bologna
Summary
The ENLIGHTENme project aims at collecting evidence about the impact of outdoor and indoor lighting on human health and wellbeing through the development and testing of innovative solutions and policies that will also counteract health inequalities in European cities. In particular, through an open-online Urban Lighting and Health Atlas, ENLIGHTENme will collect and systematize existing data and good practices on urban lighting and will perform an accurate analysis on the correlations among health, wellbeing, lighting and socio-economic factors in three pilot cities: Bologna (Italy), Amsterdam (The Netherlands), and Tartu (Estonia).

Conditions
Interventions
indoor light intervention
Persons allocated to the indoor light intervention arm will be given a lamp to be placed at home with specific instructions to install it in a room where they spend most of their time, in order to supplement the existing indoor lighting. Thus, all people of the intervention arm will be equipped with the LUMIE Halo lamp. Utilizing both warm-white and cool-white LEDs, Lumie Halo delivers 10,000 lux at 20 cm at maximum brightness in "Day" Mode. The touch slider allows the user to adjust the brightness while mixing the color temperature of the light.
no indoor light
Persons allocated to the control group will receive no indoor light supplementation and will undergo assessment procedures only. Exposure to the outdoor intervention will be taken into account in the analysis in three ways, (1) by locating the distance between people's home and the modified outdoor light, (2) by a question about the awareness of the change in outdoor light, timing, and duration of exposure and what they think of it, and (3) by recording the amount of light exposure over the 24 hours during two weeks at baseline and after the 1-year light interventions
