GI

GI is a photosensitive protein, under the exposure of 450nm blue light, its structure will alter and can form a dimer with LOV. We used GI as a part of our blue light switch.

2.Caution

The duration of the combination of GI and LOV after the blue light exposure will alter as the illuminate method and the intensity of the blue light differ. We used strong light for a 30min exposure and then use weak light for another 30min exposure.
