When subjects working under LED lights were given supplemental incandescent lighting, they showed significant improvements in color contrast testing on both blue and red axes. Notably, these improvements persisted for 4-6 weeks after returning to LED-only lighting. The exact biological mechanism remains unknown, but the research suggests the broader wavelength spectrum of incandescent bulbs may benefit human vision. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
