New Year's resolutions: how does lighting affect your productivity? - 1

Light colour - the key to harmony and balance

The colour of light is one of the most important factors contributing to our well-being and productivity. Each colour has a different function and can be used depending on the time of day or type of activity. By adjusting the colour, it is possible to create optimal conditions for relaxation, work or family activities.  

● The warm colour of the light (2700-3000 K) reminds the warm rays of a setting sun, which promote tranquillity and relaxation. It is the perfect choice for the evening when you need to relax after a long day. Warm light creates a cosy atmosphere in the living room or bedroom, promoting relaxation and preparing you for regeneration.

● The neutral light colour (3500-4500 K) is the golden mean. It is the light that most closely resembles natural daylight. It helps to maintain concentration without causing tension or fatigue. Kanlux SOLN LED ceiling-mounted light with light in colour temperature of 4000K is suitable for placing above, e.g., the dining table, where you eat meals, but also spend time with the family, e.g. playing board games. The neutral colour is also perfect for the kitchen, office or home study space. It enables you to work effectively and complete everyday tasks.

● The cold light colour (5000-6500 K) stimulates the body and mobilises it to take action. It is particularly useful in places where you need intense concentration, e.g. in offices, workshops or when working on projects that require high precision. However, it should be used in moderation - prolonged exposure to cold light can cause eye fatigue and emotional tension.  

Light plays a key role in our daily lives, affecting both our productivity and well-being. Solutions such as lamps with a dimmable function and motion sensors that combine the comfort of use with energy savings are becoming more and more popular. It is worth choosing lighting reasonably to improve the quality of everyday life.

Regulation of light intensity and circadian rhythm
One of the most important elements of a good lighting system is the ability to regulate light intensity. Higher-intensity light has an energising effect, supporting daytime activity, while softer and dimmer lighting promotes relaxation. This solution helps to better adjust the light to the natural circadian rhythm and does not disturb the biological clock.
Lamps and bulbs with a dimming function are extremely practical tools that enable you to have complete control over the atmosphere in a room. You can create a bright, dynamic workspace during the day and transform it into a zone of tranquillity and calm in the evening. Combined with neutral or warm light colours, the dimming function promotes healthy sleep and improves the quality of rest.  
Opt for the Kanlux INITA LED bedroom table lamp. The dimming function is not all it has to offer! You can charge it via the USB port and can easily fit it in your hand luggage - if you need it while travelling. In addition, it has an IP54 rating so it is suitable for outdoor use - on a balcony or terrace. 

 

Under-cabinet luminaires - organisation and efficiency

In the kitchen, studio or home office, adequate lighting of the workspace is crucial for the efficiency and comfort of work. Under-cabinet luminaires are a practical solution that eliminates shadows on work surfaces, ensuring uniform illumination of the surface.  
This makes cooking, organising documents or working much easier. It's a small but essential element that can significantly improve your organisation. A good choice would be the ZEPO under-cabinet spotlight, available in three colours - black, white and silver chrome. The simple and elegant form is a classic of high-quality and unobtrusive. 

Sensor lamps - New Year's savings

Striving to save money is a popular New Year's resolution. In that context, it is worth looking at lamps equipped with motion sensors. Automatically switching the light on and off minimises energy consumption, which translates into lower bills and environmental benefits.  
BENO LED ceiling-mounted light is a multifunctional luminaire - the minimalist design is suitable for any interior, and the high weather resistance (IP54) makes it possible to use it both indoors and outdoors. The luminaire is available in two colours: white and graphite and two different shapes: round or square. It is also quick and easy to install on the ceiling or wall and has an adjustable motion sensor (in -SE versions).
Also, get to know the new Kanlux BENO ECO, which is distinguished by its exceptional luminous efficiency of up to 115 lm/W, which provides excellent lighting with low energy consumption. Kanlux BENO ECO, thanks to its IP65 protection class, is resistant to dust and moisture; in addition, the possibility to select the colour temperature by means of a "DIP-switch" inside the junction box makes it easy to adjust the lighting to individual preferences.

Dusk sensor - light as needed

Luminaires with a dusk sensor perform a similar function. Automatic switching on and off the light can be useful in the corridor, near the stairs or in the children's room. A portable and convenient option is the Kanlux ULOV LED plug-in lamp. Thanks to such solutions, you can introduce modern technologies into your home that support a sustainable lifestyle.  
In the New Year, it is worth investing in lighting solutions that support the achievement of your goals and circadian rhythm. From warm light in the living room, through neutral lighting of workspaces, to energy-efficient lamps with sensors - each of these solutions can contribute to improving the quality of everyday life.  

A balanced and thoughtful approach to lighting will help you not only achieve your New Year's resolutions but also enjoy better organisation, relaxation and harmony at home.
