I'd think that similar appropriate lighting would boost output in an office while making employees feel better at the end of the day.

Feel free to contact me if you'd like to pursue this type of lighting in your school or business.

I work with lighting designers and installers who understand these lighting principles behind SchoolVision.

The pioneering SchoolVision solution [by Phillips Lighting] was put to the test as part of an independent study by the local government in Hamburg and the Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf. A total of 166 pupils and 18 teachers took part in the year-long scientific experiment, which recorded significant improvements in student performance.

A lesson in behaviour

After the existing lighting in each classroom was replaced with the SchoolVision system, attention span, concentration and the behaviour of pupils all improved significantly. Under the dynamic daylight conditions not only did their performance improve, they also read faster and made fewer mistakes.

The proof is in the figures
