Calculations of the five α-opic irradiances for all experimental conditions, following the SI-compliant approach recommended by the CIE.

Experimental condition Cyanopic irradiancea (μWcm−2) Melanopic irradiancea (μWcm−2) Rhodopic irradiancea (μWcm−2) Chloropic irradiancea (μWcm−2) Erythropic irradiancea (μWcm−2)
iPad with Blue Light Goggles 21.0 35.6 30.4 18.2 10.5
iPad Night Shift High CCT (5997 K) 6.0 7.7 9.6 11.1 11.5
iPad Night Shift Low CCT (2837 K) 1.3 3.8 5.9 9.3 12.1
iPad with Orange Goggles (control) 0 0 <0.1 <0.5 <1.0

CIE: International Commission on Illumination; CCT: correlated colour temperature.

Based upon the spectral irradiance distributions of the light sources, α-opic irradiances are calculated using the CIE’s SI-compliant version20,21 of the Lucas et al.22 toolbox.
