Description

Manuel Spitschan and co-authors present ENLIGHT, a 2023 consensus checklist for reporting lab studies on light's effects beyond vision. Light steers body clocks and alertness, yet studies describe their lighting so unevenly that results cannot be compared. Sixty experts from many lands shaped the list through rounds of surveys and one face-to-face meeting.

A starting pool of sixty-one items was cut to twenty-five. Nine of them must be reported whatever the study asks. A companion document explains each item. Trial runs by outside experts led to small wording fixes. The authors say steady use of the list will make light studies easier to repeat, to pool, and to trust, lifting the whole field's proof.
