This technical memorandum addresses visibilityrelated
spectral effects of lighting at mesopic light
levels. There is a great deal of interest in the impact
of light sources with differing spectral power distributions
in terms of visibility at the relatively low light levels
used for much outdoor and roadway lighting. The
purpose of this document is to provide the reader
with a summary of the research in this area, as well
as to the potential approaches and caveats involved
in incorporating this information into lighting practice.
