Highlights
► Red cone knockin (Opn1mwR) mice reveal rod, cone, and melanopsin phases to NIF vision ► Rods drive circadian responses to very low irradiances (scotopic threshold) ► Circadian responses to light in the photopic range can be rod driven ► Light adaptation limits the influence of cones on NIF vision
