Last research published in Journal of Consumer Psychology shows that intensity of a light affects our emotions and perceptions. For example, warmer light makes us feel warmer even if the temperature in the room is on the same level.
Researchers also show that: “Other evidence shows that on sunny days people are more optimistic about the stock market, report higher wellbeing and are more helpful while extended exposure to dark, gloomy days can result in seasonal affective disorder. Contrary to these results, we found that on sunny days depression-prone people actually become more depressed.”. The study, in our opinion, provides a huge impact on how we should approach the subject of lighting not only in private but also in public spaces.
That’s why in Beltrade we pay big attention to the lights we recommend for our clients to their projects. So what are the general recommendations you should follow when choosing lightings to your office? Take a look at our simple guide and feel the effects day-by-day!
