A novel LED light that emits alternating wavelengths of orange and blue outpaced two other light devices in advancing melatonin levels in a small group of study participants.

Circadian rhythms are trained and reset every day by the 24-hour solar cycles of light and dark, which stimulate circuits in the eyes that communicate to the brain.

With that information, the brain produces melatonin, a hormone that helps organisms become sleepy in sync with the solar night.

Neitz and Kuchenbecker commercialized the light technology.

The light technology is manufactured and sold by a Chicago -based company, TUO .

The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health (R01 EY027859 , P30EY001730 and T32EY007031 ).
