Be productive at work, thanks to lighting!
It is known that office work, and especially at the computer, can cause eyestrain. Screens strain the eyes over a long period of time and can cause various symptoms: fatigue, headaches, dizziness and even nausea. Did you know that there is a determining factor that can prevent these problems and optimize your work performance? Well yes! Proper lighting can make all the difference!
Lighting intensity
Adjusting the intensity of the lighting helps prevent glare, which is hard on vision. When choosing your lights, choose lamps and ceiling lights with diffusers or filters that can reduce the brightness. It is also recommended to install semi-opaque blinds that let in daylight while avoiding glare caused by the glare of the sun.
Also, working on screen requires less lighting than working on paper. It is therefore wise to bring a dimmable desk lamp to adjust the brightness according to the type of work you do during the day.
Natural or artificial?
It is best to use a combination of natural and artificial light sources to illuminate your workplace. Daylight reflects off the walls and can create enough light for some rooms. However, you must have indirect artificial lighting to compensate for the darkness of the evening or even adjust the lighting according to your specific needs.
Office layout
The position of your desk and your screen also has an impact on the brightness. It is recommended that computer screens be placed perpendicular to windows. For what? Facing the window, the sunlight would dazzle you. With your back to the window, the sun's rays would reflect on your screen. The perpendicular layout makes it easier to get away with it.
Finally, when choosing your furniture, opt for light work surfaces. They will reduce the contrast between the furniture and the brightness of the screens.
