Impact of light on learning and wellbeing

What if your lighting could improve academic results?

Your lighting should do more than just light the space. The right design can assist students by boosting focus, reduce fatigue, support wellbeing, and even quieten the students. For example, cool, high-intensity light has an invigorating effect, helping students stay alert during lessons requiring focus. Meanwhile, warmer, lower-intensity lighting can create a sense of calm before exams or during creative tasks.

Lighting that fosters focus and creativity

Classrooms today demand lighting that supports both logic and imagination. We are most creative when our environment supports the senses and gives the mind space to rest.

• Bright, cool lighting promotes motivation, alertness, and productivity.

• Warm, gentle light supports open thinking, teamwork, and relaxed creativity.

Lighting should adapt to the space, not the other way around
Whether it’s a general classroom, exam hall, technical workshop, or car park, different areas across a campus have unique lighting demands. The right solution is one that’s tailored to each environment, delivering the right light, in the right place, at the right time.

The case study below shows how lighting was selected to meet the fixed, high-performance needs of a technical learning environment.
