Spectral G-index
- ... that the European Commission's Joint Research Centre now recommends using the G-index instead of CCT to select streetlights that have low blue light content?
Source: "the G-Index is proposed because CCT is not a perfect measure of blue light... The G-index value is directly related to blue light content, and so should be specified when light pollution effects on wildlife or on star visibility are a concern.[1]
