HOW LIGHTING IN THE WORKPLACE AFFECTS MOOD

A new study from Forbes came out recently that indicates poor lighting in the workplace affects overall mental health and well-being.  

Bad lighting is associated with a range of negative health effects, including:

  • Eye Strain

  • Headaches

  • Fatigue

  • Added stress and anxiety in high-pressure work environments

A study of 7,000 office workers in ten European countries, found that:

  • 80% of office workers said good lighting in their workspace is important to them

  • Two in five office workers said they are having to deal with uncomfortable lighting every day

  • A third of office workers said that better lighting would make them feel happier at work

  • 25% are frustrated with having to deal with poor lighting in their workspaces

This is where Valet Energy can assist. Not only do we have a team of engineers that can help office building owners and developers select the best energy-efficient lighting sources for new buildings, but we can also help with retrofits on existing buildings and switching out current fixtures to LED fixtures.
