Light is more than just lighting
Imagine: you wake up in the morning, open the curtains, and the first rays of sunlight fill the room. This is not only a pleasant start to the day, but also a powerful signal to your body that it is time to act. Light regulates our biological rhythms, affects mood, energy, and even immunity.
However, in the modern world, we spend up to 90% of our time indoors with artificial lighting, which often does not correspond to natural rhythms. This can lead to sleep disturbances, fatigue, reduced productivity, and even depression.
Scientific facts: what the research says
Circadian Rhythms and Light: Research from Harvard Medical School has shown that the wrong light temperature disrupts circadian rhythms, leading to insomnia, fatigue, and decreased immunity.
Insufficient lighting and vision: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), insufficient lighting increases visual strain by 40%, causing headaches and dry eye syndrome.
Light temperature and productivity: A study by the Lighting Research Center found that cool light (5000-6500K) increases productivity by 15-20%, while warm light (2700-3000K) promotes relaxation in the evening.
Solution: What technologies will help?
Circadian lighting: Simulates natural light changes throughout the day, supporting biological rhythms. Ideal for offices and residential spaces.
Sunlike LED: LEDs that are as close as possible to the sunlight spectrum provide comfortable and natural lighting.
SMD LEDs: A budget solution with high energy efficiency and long service life.
The cost of lighting depends on the chosen technology: from affordable SMD lamps to premium solutions with Sunlike LED.
What to look for when choosing lighting
Color Rendering Index (CRI): Shows how natural colors appear under artificial lighting. A value above 90 provides accurate color reproduction.
Color temperature:
2700K: warm light for relaxation.
4000K: neutral light for everyday work.
6500K: cold light to increase concentration.
Brightness: The level of lighting depends on the tasks: 500-1000 lux is recommended for reading and writing.
Brightness and temperature adjustment: Allows you to adapt the lighting to different times of day and tasks.
Conclusion
Good lighting is an investment in your health, productivity and comfort. By choosing the right lighting, you create the conditions for effective work, good well-being and a harmonious life.
