My Project

Fluorescent lights can be extremely distracting for most students, especially special education students. Fluorescent lights can cause glares in the hallway and inside the classroom. These fluorescent light covers can provide a filter to reduce the brightness of the fluorescent lights.

Fluorescent lights can also cause medical concerns.

The light covers that were chosen are going to be rotated throughout the year to match the seasons will be utilized in the hallway and will benefit the entire preschool department at our school. The plain blue ones will be used during winter, the cherry blossoms will be used in spring, and the sunlight covers will be used during summer.
