Physiological Effects of Light

Merrill J. Dorcas

In Supplying artificial illumination for a motion picture studio the primary consideration is to secure the quantity and quality of light that will have the desired effect on the film. This subject has been dealt with in many papers and discussions. In the present paper the effect of the light on the actors rather than the film will be considered. I wish to call your attention to two of the many known physiological effects of light on human beings. Many physicians have become interested in these physiological effects in the last five years. Their research work has enabled us to form certain definite ideas that might be important in some applications of light in studios.
