MLI RESEARCH IS TARGETED AND SPECIFIC TO ATTAIN REALISTIC APPLICABLE RESULTS WITH THE GOAL OF RAPID MARKET DEPLOYMENT TO MEET THE MLI MISSION. THE NOVEL APPROACH TO LIGHTING RESEARCH INCLUDES UNEXPLORED OPPORTUNITIES AND/OR UNDERUTILIZED KNOWLEDGE SUCH AS LIGHT DOSING FOR HUMAN HEALTH AND VISUAL PERFORMANCE; SPECTRAL INVESTIGATIONS FOR OPTIMIZING VISUAL PERFORMANCE; LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF LIGHT DOSING ON SPECIFIC POPULATIONS; AND ENERGY-SAVING TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATIONS INCLUDING NOVEL LIGHTING DESIGN METHODS.
