Scott Zimmerman Founder of Silas, Inc., maker of NIRA lighting. Scott has more than 35 years of experience in the fields of lighting and displays. His innovations and inventions have been used successfully in a wide range of military and commercial products that include night vision displays, liquid crystal display backlighting designs, and lighting fixtures. Over the past few years, Scott has been focused on quantifying the health effects of natural sunlight. His efforts led to the development of the NIRA product line with its patent pending design that reintroduces near-infrared into our homes and offices. This research, co-authored with Professor Russel Reiter, was recently published in Melatonin Research 2, a peer reviewed medical journal, and featured in LED professional 3. In response to the pandemic, Scott extended this work toward developing novel lighting and HVAC systems that suppress disease spread. He authored a peer reviewed paper on this topic that was published in the Journal of Infectious Disease and Epidemiology
summary
Scott shares insights on the profound impact of light on health, hormones, and the environment. We explore misconceptions about light, the importance of natural sunlight, and how modern lighting affects our health and well-being. Scott shares insights on the impact of artificial lighting on health, the importance of matching the spectrum to natural sunlight, and the future of light technology and health monitoring. Overall he reminds us to sped more time outside and to bring awareness to the issues with our current modern light environment.
