Patent ID: 8795344

Claim:
A method of influencing thermoregulation of a vertebrate, said method comprising the steps of: selecting, on the basis of a predetermined criterion, a particular group among a plurality of groups of color of light, said color of light having been categorized into groups on the basis of dominant wavelength, where each group of colors is arranged to influence the thermoregulation of a vertebrate in a particular manner; generating a control signal for controlling the dominant wavelength of light emitted from at least one light source in accordance with the selected group of colors; and transmitting the generated control signal to said at least one light source for said at least one light source to emit light of the selected group of colors, thereby influencing the thermoregulation of a vertebrate being exposed to the light of the selected group of colors emitted by said at least one light source on the basis of said predetermined criterion; communicating the control signal to a climate control device configured to control a climate control system, the control signal indicating whether to lower or increase the output temperature of the climate control system depending on the selected group of colors and to influence the thermoregulation of a vertebrate.
