Some of us just by chance don’t have much access to natural light in our home, those of us in cities especially. What can we do? Well as it turns out, quite a lot of the benefits of natural light can be found within artificial lights that mimic natural lighting via spectrum design.
Blue light has the same effects as daylight: it diminishes fatigue, ups focus, improves productivity, and reduces eye strain. Outfitting your home with blue light sources in your workspace is the next best thing to removing the roof in favor of glass.
Overall, it’s better to use task lighting, like desk lamps and standing lamps rather than overhead lamps. This is because overhead lamps often cause glare and eye strain in the workspace. Task lamps should be set up to not cast a shadow on your work, as they are used for specific activities, generally detailed work.
Task lighting alone can quickly give you eye strain because it’s directed light; so it’s important to add more light if you use one. Eye strain can be combated when paired with ambient lighting. Ambient lighting will help soften the sharp light that can come from an overhead light, not to mention the direct light from your computer screen.
Supplementing ambient lighting might sound like you’re beginning to need a lot of different lights… luckily, BIOS has addressed this issue with our SkyBlue light bulbs. Below we will discuss how this product can address many of your lighting concerns (and cut down on the need for many different lights).
