1. An optical filter comprising:
- a substrate;
one or more filter layers coupled to the substrate, at least one of the one or more filter layers in direct contact with the substrate;
where the optical filter is configured to reduce luminance by between about 80% and about 90% and to have a color rendering index (CRI) of more than about 80 relative to an unfiltered reference illuminant.

17. A method of generating a customized spectral profile, comprising:
-
obtaining a reference spectrum for an unfiltered reference illuminant; generating a trial spectrum; calculating one or more optical indices of the trial spectrum; generating a customized spectral profile by varying with a computer the trial spectrum to optimize the one or more optical indices of the trial spectrum relative to the reference spectrum. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
