Classroom Light Filters – An Essential for Teaching-Learning Process

Nobody can deny the importance of proper lighting in a classroom. If the students can’t see what is being taught due to poor lighting, the whole process of learning becomes worthless. You may be surprised to know that light has a major effect on brain’s ability to focus and grasp things being taught. Poor lighting can reduce brain’s ability to collect information. And if poor lighting continues, the brain may become slow in grasping new information. In such a scenario, the only perfect solution is classroom light filters, which not only produce an eye-soothing milieu in the classroom, but strengthens the visual power of students too.

Why Classroom Light Filters?

strain on eyesPoor lighting in the classroom not only hampers the visual power of students to read on paper, computer keyboard or whiteboard, and brain’s ability to absorb new information, but also affects psychological health. Students spend a major amount of time in their classroom and teachers can attest that poor lighting can adversely affect their mood. An upset mind cannot be focused and attentive.

NaturaLuxTM Filters have found an excellent solution to the problem of lighting in classrooms in form of classroom light filters.

A number of studies suggest that the more a light source leans to the bluer side of a light spectrum, the brighter it seems to our visual system. So also, if it produces color-corrected lighting, it is beneficial for both students and teachers from the full spectrum light – it is almost as being out in the sun!

Some studies illustrate this well. A study done by Dr. Mojtaba Navvab, PhD and Sam Berman, PhD showed that students had enhanced visual perception while working under higher color temperature (bluer, 5000K). It was also observed in the same study that as compared to a warmer color temperature light, it saved the lighting bill of the school up to 50%.

 

How does Light Affect Brain Power and Mood?

Melatonin makes us relaxed, sleepy and drowsy, while serotonin makes us awake, aware and alert. Both these hormones are needed by us to maintain our body’s circadian rhythm.

 

 

 

photoreceptor in retina

Some scientists at the Thomas Jefferson University of Philadelphia’s Department of Neurology found out a photoreceptor in human retina which does the only job of informing the brain whether it is day or night, depending upon the light. It has been found that this receptor is particularly responsive to the blue-green spectra of light. When it is stimulated it commands the pineal gland to give out more serotonin to make us alert and awake in the classroom.
