LED Lights: A Brief Introduction
LEDs, short for Light Emitting Diodes, are low-power light sources that emit light when an electrical current passes through a microchip. This visible light is the source of illumination. LEDs convert nearly 90% of their energy into light, way more efficient than incandescent light bulbs.
Studying Under the Right LED Light
Cool Blue
Cool blue is an excellent light color. It’s like daylight. Our bodies respond well to this kind of light; it increases focus and alertness. Cool blue LED keeps the brain alert during study sessions, helping efficient learning.
Cool White
Like daylight, cool white is clear and bright. It provides fresh light that helps focus and energy, making it ideal for studying. The brightness of cool white light helps concentration and clear vision, which also helps with studying.
Nature White
Nature white is the closest LED color to natural daylight. This is not because of the wavelengths of the light but because of the visibility. Bright lights like nature's white stimulate alertness and energy, which is suitable for studying.
Daylight White
Daylight white light affects the release of hormones like serotonin and melatonin. Serotonin stabilises mood and boosts the waking cycle, melatonin signals sleep. Daylight white light promotes serotonin production and keeps you alert and energized during study sessions.
