  1. Spectral irradiances and illuminances were measured with a spectroradiometer (specbos 1211-2, JETI Technische Instrumente GmbH, Jena, Germany) and color properties were calculated with the software JETI LiVAl; luminances were measured with a calibrated CANON EOS 650D camera with fisheye optic; the alpha-opic irradiances were derived from the spectral irradiance measurements excel-toolbox S026-2018 provided by the CIE.
  2. *Typical switching times of ambient lights and reading lights were determined from staff’s observations.
