Low lumens of light in the 6,500k spectrum can cause depression and sadness and yet high lumens in this range can cause a high level of productive activity. Light spectrum, lumen levels and flicker rates (think in terms of hertz) can have a profound effect on people and animals. I have a little brother that is a video producer and he tells me that very subtle changes in these characteristics can make or break a video/ movie. It's absolutely amazing how many studies are available on this subject. We use that information in architecture for lighting of buildings. My wife goes crazy when I point out the manipulative techniques or the lack of when we go out. Stores will "spotlight" items they want to push for sales. Knowing how it all works helps me to understand it's not personally targeting me, but rather is a standard operating procedure for the vast majority of people. I can't wait to get out of the city to get away from this crap.

Same. Love being autistic enough for the pattern recognition.
