My Project
Hi! Thanks for considering this project. My new classroom has no natural light and requires that the overhead fluorescent bulbs be on throughout the day. Students (and teachers) complain about headaches from the light.
Studies have shown that fluorescent overhead lighting can cause eye strain and irritability.
I would like to be able to provide my students with a space that is well lit so that they can clearly see in their classroom, while also maintaining a peaceful environment for them to learn and thrive in. These lighting options (string lights, table lamps and floor lamps with warm light at eye level versus overhead) will help students to feel comfortable in their learning environment. I'm also requesting 3 breathing lights to go in our calm corner. Thank you so much!
