Since more than 20 years Wout van Bommel is also specialized in the new subject of non-visual biological aspects of lighting influencing in turn our health and wellbeing. He gives basic and advanced lectures about lighting, health and wellbeing for both professional and laymen groups of people. Sustainability must be key in lighting, especially because lighting uses 20% of the world's electricity. A good definition of sustainability in the context of lighting is: "balancing the positive effects of lighting on living beings with the negative impact of that lighting on the environment". Sustainability therefore not only asks for the use of the right lighting products and systems but also for the use of the right lighting specification based on the latest standards, recommendations and developments. Wout van Bommel is specialized in both these aspects. Watch van Bommel's Philips Academy Webinar "Mesopic Vision and Road Lighting: the real story"
