I am requesting a set of 20 soft blue light filters to use on the florescent lights in our classroom. Our school is over 40 years old and with that comes older light fixtures that use very bright florescent bulbs. We have tried many options like leaving the lights off and utilizing natural light and lamps, but have found that they are not quite enough light to reach the entire room. The florescent lights are challenging for some of my students, and cause headaches and eye strain. Other classrooms have found success with these filters which easily attach to the light fixtures. Some of my students see specialists in other classrooms where they have filters, and often ask if we can get them. I am so excited to get this project funded and welcome my kids back in August to a classroom with softer and more tranquil lighting.
