Abstract: We consider the applied problem of producing museum lighting which is visually pleasing yet causes minimal damage to objects. Within this context we consider whether melanopsin (the photo-pigment expressed by intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells) may have the right attributes to play a role in chromatic adaptation (the process by which human vision adapts to ambient lighting of different chromaticities). I shall give an overview of the context and motivation, and multiple experiments which are ongoing, and which attempt to answer this question from different perspectives.
A longer abstract will be available in the conference proceedings (or email the author).
