Back to School with Better Home Lighting with LEDVANCE

We all know that poor lighting can lead to eye strain, fatigue, and discomfort. Oftentimes it can impact our health, mood, and take away from warmer welcomes and time with company. This fall, think about your home’s light and whether or not it is time to switch to LED light bulbs, fixtures, or SMART+ products. Beyond the cost savings, energy efficiency, or long-lasting life, better light brings better living to us, our family, and our friends. It can transform spaces where we study, prepare meals to go for school, and bring us together after a long day to unwind.

Where to begin and what to assess you may ask yourself. First, begin to think what light bulbs in your home are producing glare, which are not instant on thus creating flickering that can trigger headaches and eye strain. With school approaching and days getting shorter, you can begin to think about taking on one room at a time to make the improvements you need for the family.

Lighting & Back to School Preparation

Choosing the right light for studying – and home office – can significantly impact our productivity, concentration, and overall well-being. Here's why it makes such a difference:

Reduced Eye Strain: Proper lighting reduces eye strain and fatigue. Insufficient or poor lighting can cause glare, shadows, and harsh contrasts, which can lead to discomfort and difficulty focusing on our work.

Blue Light: When we are exposed to blue light, it can play with our body’s natural circadian rhythm which can impact our sleep, drain our focus, and keep us away from the sun’s natural light. With natural LED lighting that mimics the sun's spectrum we can live with the most natural colors indoors.

Improved Focus and Concentration: Adequate lighting helps you maintain better focus and concentration on your tasks. LED lights that are bright and even illumination enhances your ability to read, write, and process information effectively.

Enhanced Reading and Comprehension: The right lighting enhances text legibility, making it easier to read and understand your study materials. This is particularly important for extended reading sessions.

Optimal Brain Function: Studies have shown that appropriate lighting can positively affect cognitive function and alertness. Bright, cool white light simulates natural daylight (5000K), which promotes wakefulness and mental alertness.

Reduced Fatigue: Good lighting reduces visual strain and mental fatigue, enabling us to study or work for longer periods without feeling as tired or mentally drained. Quality LED lighting that is innovated to resolve fatigue is our go-to all year long. 

Creating a Productive Enviornment: Proper lighting contributes to creating a productive and motivating study environment. Well-lit spaces tend to feel more inviting, helping you establish a positive mindset towards your work.

Visual Comfort: The right lighting minimizes discomfort caused by glare, flicker, or uneven lighting. Comfortable lighting ensures that you can work for extended periods without experiencing discomfort.

Mood Enhancement: Natural or daylight-mimicking lighting can positively influence your mood and emotional well-being. This can lead to a more positive attitude towards your study sessions.

Effective Design and Visualization: If you're involved in design work, accurate and balanced lighting allows you to perceive colors, textures, and details accurately. This is crucial for creating visually appealing designs.

Optimal Health: Exposure to proper lighting, especially natural light, helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which in turn affects your sleep patterns and overall health.

In summary, selecting the right lighting for studying or working remotely goes beyond mere aesthetics of our home. It's about designing an environment with light that supports your cognitive function, visual comfort, and overall well-being. By investing in suitable lighting solutions with LEDVANCE, makers of SYLVANIA General Lighting, you can create a space where you're more productive, engaged, and comfortable during your study sessions.
