The lamps have allowed us to change the lighting in our space. With the lighting being more calm, we have noticed significant changes in volume levels as well as less behavior issues.\r\n\r\nThe first day we had the lamps out, the students were surprised at first and a little confused. When talking to our older students, the could see and understand the reasoning behind changing the lighting. Other building staff and parents love the look and the way it makes them feel when they walk in the room.\r\n\r\nStudents have also commented on how their eyes feel after being in the room with the calmer lighting.
