Lighting installation can have many effects

Ask a lighting installation expert for advice on the lighting you want for the effect you want. Tasklight that’s too small or weak won’t give you enough light to work by. Too bright a light, with the wrong color balance, may make a room feel like an interrogation cell.If you have one bright source of light, you need other lights to keep it from creating too many shadows.

Feeling SAD this time of year

Millions of people in Fort Mill, SC and other parts of the continental U.S. and Alaska struggle with seasonal affective disorder. For most people, it’s simply a general feeling of grumpiness this time of year, but there are those who find it downright debilitating and (in extreme cases) have to move to the tropics or the Southern Hemisphere for a few months in order to get anything done.

One treatment that is often used is light boxes, or light therapy boxes. These are very bright lamps, often placed on the desk near where someone works.They are usually designed to filter out UV light.People with extreme SAD sometimes find that light boxes are insufficient, and need stronger lights or more lights in order to bring the feeling of summer.

When choosing a light box, it helps to know how light is measured. The unit of measure of light as perceived by the human eye is the lux. Direct sunlight can be from 32,000 to 100,000 lux, while daylight without direct sunlight is from 10,000 to 25,000 lux. The more you learn about this, the more you realize how accustomed we have become to living our lives in half light. The bright lights of a TV studio are roughly equivalent to an overcast day (about 1,000 lux). Most office lighting is about the same level of light as dawn or dusk on a clear day, and our homes are usually even less well lit. Most light boxes are 2,500, 8,000 or 10,000 lux, and are normally used for anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours. Ask your lighting installation specialist how to get the most out of your light boxes.
