Is light’s importance often underestimated?
Yes, absolutely. Especially when it comes to intensity of both UV and visual light. Often though, the importance of high levels of UVB light is overestimated; “More is not always better”. In lighting there are many aspects and it is important to offer a balanced lighting system. It has to cover the simple aspects from indicating day and night cycle to more complex issues like photosynthesis. Unfortunately consumers often only use incandescent lights, which are in most cases totally inadequate.
