Benefits of effective lighting in education

Education requires a carefully considered lighting scheme to take into account the correct lux levels, glare control, uniformity of the light and the correct use of colour temperature. Lighting for the education sector should be designed in line with LG5 criteria Illimunaince levels (lux level=measured amount of light in a space). Designing the space with the correct amount of light can have a positive effect on student performance, concentration and behaviour.

Too low lux level leads to reduced concentration and poor posture. Too high lux level results in discomfort, hyperactivity and impaired visual performance.
