Abstract：With the gradual improvement of the understanding of the biological effects of light,office lighting quality requirements had developed from the visual performance to the health needs of users`.The key elements of office light environment,such as illumination,color temperature,spatial distribution and so on,not only influence the visual effects,but also affect the circadian rhythm of the human body through the non-visual forming system,and then influence the office staffs'' sleep quality,mood,alertness,etc.Accordingly,the experiment methods of office lighting develop from the traditional subjective evaluation to the physiological indicators detection,and the medical,psychological,behavioral and other experimental methods have been used.It has been one of the hotspots of health lighting research to study office lighting from the perspective of non-visual effects of light.This paper presents an overview of investigations of the light biological effects in the offices.The related experimental methods and technical means are analyzed,and the research focus and the development direction in office lighting are presented in this paper.
