My Project

Students learn best when they are comfortable and feel relaxed. They say that the overhead lights are too bright. This makes the room very bright and sometimes overwhelming for students. These lights can also sometimes cause headaches. There is no way to reduce the lighting without having covers over the lights. Light covers will help my students concentrate in class and meet their individual learning needs.

These light covers have been proven to help those with concentration issues by relaxing their eyes and help those who have high sensitivity to fluorescent classroom lighting and will help them to focus on the lesson being taught and not on the harsh lighting.

Studies have shown that reducing these fluorescent lights can have a positive effect on students. Individuals who are prone to seizures can also be affected by these lights and especially when they start to blink.
