Is Office Lighting Helping or Hindering your Productivity?

Is Office Lighting Helping or Hindering your Productivity?
Our light environment throughout the day plays a key role in how we feel. Let’s find out more about the ways in which our office lighting may be helping or hindering us!

We recently exhibited at the Workspace Design Show in London and the Health and Wellbeing at Work Exhibition in Birmingham, spreading the word about the power of light at work and its impact on mood, energy and our overall sense of well-being. We all know that feel-good sensation of soaking up natural daylight, and when the days are dim, fatigue often creeps in. But when we feel sleepy in the office, and when productivity levels dip, we often overlook the impact of our light environment. Here are 5 ways in which adopting the right office lighting can benefit us:

1. Reduces fatigue and boosts alertness - warm lighting tones help to prepare our body for sleep, so this isn’t ideal for the working environment! Opting for bright, cool tones helps us to feel alert. A bright light therapy lamp such as Lumie Mini delivers 10,000 lux of cool white light to keep you feeling energised throughout the day. Say goodbye to the afternoon slump!

2. Improves mood - just as many of us experience during the darker days of autumn and winter, we can also experience low mood when spending prolonged periods working indoors in dimly lit environments. Incorporating a bright light therapy lamp into your desk space allows you to bring the mood boosting powers of sunlight indoors.

3. Supports visual comfort - insufficient light in the working environment can cause eye fatigue so supplementing your workspace with good quality light is important for eye health. Lumie Task is an innovative bright light therapy desk lamp which delivers 10,000 lux at full brightness, emulating the intensity and colour spectrum of sunlight. With an exceptional colour rendering index value of CRI-95+, Task’s LEDs help you to see text, colours, textures and fine detail clearly while prioritising visual comfort - the perfect addition to any workspace!

4. Boosts concentration - a light environment which supports visual comfort and boosts mood and alertness is more conducive to concentration. We evaluated the impact of Lumie light therapy through workplace well-being case studies with teams from several companies and found that 91% of participants experienced improved focus and alertness, leading to sharper concentration!

5. Keeps your circadian rhythm in sync - light is the most powerful synchroniser of our circadian rhythm, so being mindful of our light environment throughout the day can help us to keep this in sync. Exposure to bright light in the morning provides a strong signal that it is time to be alert whilst warmer tones later in the day signal that it is time to start winding down. If we are exposed to bright light towards the end of the day, this can have an unwanted effect on our sleep time, causing us to fall asleep later. Being aware of our light environment throughout the day in the office therefore has huge benefits for our sleep!
