Even as they illuminate our lives, electric lights go unnoticed. The flick of a switch lets you navigate safely through a room at night or read into the wee hours. But the lighting in your home and office can affect your health more than you might imagine. And for this, I am introducing some really
wonderful lighting fixtures that not only works to your advantage, but also keep your health in check.
Sconce 1 Lt. Incandescent by Kichler Lighting
Incandescent lightbulbs - the ones Thomas Edison invented - use electricity to heat a tungsten filament that glows with soft light. The light is appealing to the eye because its warm hue mimics afternoon sunlight. Installed in a room where you spend a lot of time (such as an office or a kitchen), these bulbs enable you to stay alert longer and work more productively. They may even improve your mood.
Kichler Bath 1 Light Halogen
Halogen works the same way as incandescent bulbs do, but they are filled with halogen gas, which prolongs the fiament's life. They provide a blazing white light that birhgtens an entire room. Fortunately, these newer halogen lights featured (on the right) come equipped with safety guards.
Gentle Reading Light
Forget the old idea that reading in dim light ruins the eyesight - it doesn't. Choose a
translucent lamp shade, such as those made of silk, parchment or linen, which diffuse some light upward and sideways, while directing most of it downward. A lamp should be placed so that it lights your work or your book, but doesn't cast your shadow on it. The best way to do this is to place the lamp in front of you, with the bottom of the shade at eye level or slightly lower.
