A Bright Idea for Lighting
We all know that having a comfy executive desk chair or a stylish lounge sofa is important in any office, but good lighting is nothing to scoff at. Everyone knows the saying “Happy workers are hard workers.” Part of that happiness comes from a comfortable working environment. Ergonomic office supplies don’t just include keyboard trays and monitor arms, they also incorporate lighting.
Improper lighting can not only result in glare on computer monitors, but can affect eye strain. Too many offices rely simply on overhead lighting which is the main cause of eye strain and headaches. I hate it when I’ve had the lights off for several hours and someone suddenly switches them on. I feel like a vampire wanting to cower back into the darkness. OfficeSite.com offers ergonomic lighting to improve workers’ visions. Task lighting should be used for hard copy tasks and not for your computer monitor. Place the light to the site of the monitor instead. The truth is that individual workers have different lighting preferences, so a light at each desk can improve their overall happiness and productivity. If that’s not reason enough, it can be energy efficient and save you some serious cash on excessive overhead lighting costs.
So before you go installing flickering fluorescent lights all over the office or spending all your money on a Lafer recliner, invest a little time, research, and money into task lighting.
