How BIOS Lighting and its biology-first vision of lighting began in a NASA laboratory.

In the early nineties, NASA embarked on an ambitious goal: to engineer self-sustaining life support systems for long-term missions and extraterrestrial colonies.

So how did we get from moon colonies and retrofitting space stations to leading by example in a new age of lighting technology?
