We conducted an experiment of subjective evaluation on preferable brightness using a 1/4 scale model of a living room whose space consisted of a gray floor and a white wall . The room equipped two kinds of LED lamps: RGB LED lamps and white LED lamps on the ceiling. We set up ten lighting conditions which differed in CCT and SPD . Subjects controlled the illuminance in the room so as to be their preferable brightness under each lighting conditions . The results showed that migraineurs preferred lower illuminance as compared with non-migraineurs under all lighting conditions . Practitioner Summary: For migraineurs who relax in a living room illuminated with LED lamps, the illuminance on the face should be about 50 lx lower than the non-migraineurs’ preferred illuminance.
