Hello World! Welcome Friends! Light is the tool to perceive the world around us. It helps us to see, learn, and discern between entities. But, in effect, light is so much more than the just the energy stimulant for our eyes.
With progress in the history of modern civilization, we are spending longer time indoors over outdoors for the greater part of every day. And that requires you to remain in artificial lighting instead of natural light more than ever.
Studies over the years have shown that light plays a far deeper role in our physical as well as mental health than ever conceived. It’s known as the circadian rhythm – the responsiveness of 24 hours biological cycle among living-beings. The continuous exposure to artificial lighting affects our body and mind in many different ways.
Let us explore the impact lighting can have on you, and more specifically your mood and behavior.
Impact of ‘Cool’ Toned Lights
The color tones of the lights are defined as warm or cool depending on the part of the spectrum they occupy. Blue toned lights along with their neighbors are known as ‘cool’ toned lights. If your room lighting tends to emit more cool toned lights, then the environment helps you be more productive. It gives you sharper focus and makes you more alert.
Impact of ‘Warm’ Toned Lights
Again, yellow toned lights along with their neighboring spectrum are warm toned lights. These mellow lights help you to relax and soothe your anxiety by reducing stress levels. So, if you’re looking for an after-work stress-buster ambiance, try strategic installation of more warm toned lights.
The Blue Light Effect
Most electronic devices today emit blue light in plenty. This tends to stimulate higher awareness and productivity in you. This boosts your moods to be more focused by removing feeling of drowsiness. Thus, while it helps in your office and working hours, it’s not quite helpful to establish a regular sleep-time routine at home.
Mood Lighting
This is the strategic use of artificial lighting to imitate natural light in a space depending on its intended purpose. Natural daylight helps to uplift your spirit with cheers and positive thoughts. On the other hand, a cloudy weather prompts to deepen depression in tired minds and triggers more restfulness. Similarly, you can make your guests feel more welcome by setting up warm ambiance lighting in your living rooms and general seating areas. In contrast, cool lights decorating your bedrooms would help you soothe faster for a better sleep pattern.
Additional Lighting Accessories
Apart from installing lights in particular color tones, you can accentuate the moods with other accessories in your home or office. Lighted mirrors in various patterns and frosted glass panels on windows and doors help in moderating the natural and artificial lights with a touch of elegance.
