After the holiday season is over, it’s quickly time to get back to studying and being productive at work. When studying and focusing on tasks in front of you, it is important to have the right kind of light that makes everything easier and more efficient. Surprisingly, there is a specific kind of light that you should be using when studying and working, and LED lights can help with that.
Color Temperature
The color temperature of lighting will affect the look of the light. For instance, lighting is expressed in Kelvins and can range from 1000 Ks to 7000 Ks. Those lights on the lower end of the spectrum will appear more orange in color, while lighting on the higher end can appear more blue-like in color. For studying, the best color temperature is a cool white light that will increase alertness and concentration as well as reduce eye strain. This color would be in the 4000K to 6000K range.
Task Lighting
When studying and working, there are other types of lighting to consider as well. While the room you are in may be illuminated by an LED light source, other types of lighting can also be added. This is known as light layering, when the light comes from different sources in a room. Task lighting is an example of light layering and helps when performing certain tasks, such as studying, writing, reading, and working on a computer. An example would be an additional desk lamp to add extra light for productivity and focus.
The Best Lighting Atmosphere
So when studying or aiming to be as productive as possible when working, the best lighting atmosphere would be one in which the room has a cool, white LED bulb with a lamp or additional lighting as needed. Candle LED lights could be a good choice for room lighting. Golf ball-shaped LED lights might be perfect for desk lamps. Either way, LED lighting is the best option as it is safer, more efficient, and more cost-effective in the long run.
