1 . White LED lights
Natural daylight is thought to be the best way to help promote mental wellbeing and boost concentration . However , not all homes have the means to draw in a lot of natural light . There are some small home adjustments you can make to help improve your workspace lighting , though .
Lighting can do more than create a cosy ambience in our homes to help us relax . In fact , one study by ZME Science ( www . zmescience . com ) reveals that particular types of lighting help promote better concentration and learning ability . It ’ s found that cool light is better for concentration because it mimics sunlight , whereas yellow light creates a more relaxed atmosphere .
One substitute for natural lighting is white LED lights . White or blue is thought to help reduce drowsiness and keep you more alert throughout the day . But that ’ s not to say that you should go and replace all yellow lights in your home for bright white ones . Instead , task lighting is proven to be beneficial . Whether it be desk lamps , table lamps , or wall-mounted lights , white LED task lights are small yet effective at helping you concentrate on your daily work tasks .
