Claim 14:
15. A light therapy method comprising controlling a lighting assembly to deliver a melanotic light therapy treatment, the lighting assembly being operable to create a light output having a controllable illuminance, and the method comprising:
receiving a data input indicating a target melanopic luminous exposure for administration of the light therapy treatment by the lighting assembly;
receiving a further data input indicative of one or more luminous characteristics of a visual output intended for presentation by a visual display;
determining, based on the further data input, an estimated additional melanopic luminous exposure associated with the intended visual output;
determining an adjusted target melanopic luminous exposure for administration of the light therapy treatment by the lighting assembly, based on reducing the target melanopic luminous exposure so as to compensate for the additional melanopic luminous exposure;
creating, based on the adjusted target melanopic luminous exposure, a control schedule for controlling the illuminance of the lighting assembly over time such as to deliver in total over a defined treatment period the adjusted target melanopic luminous exposure; and
controlling the lighting assembly in accordance with the control schedule.
