LIGHTING AND PRODUCTIVITY:
A Powerful Connection

# WorldProductivityDay
Behind every comfortable and productive workspace, there's one often-overlooked factor: lighting. Lighting is not just about brightness; it has a direct impact on visual comfort, mental focus, and overall work performance.
Here are 4 lighting elements proven to influence human productivity:
1. 💡 Light Intensity
Lighting that is too dim causes eye fatigue, drowsiness, and reduced motivation. On the other hand, lighting that is too bright can strain the eyes.
📌 Tip: Use lighting with appropriate brightness for workspaces — typically around 300–500 lux for office environments.
2. 🎨 CRI (Color Rendering Index)
CRI measures how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects. Low CRI makes colors appear dull and hard to distinguish — critical in design, printing, or visual industries.
📌 Tip: Choose lights with CRI >80 for more natural and accurate color rendering.
3. 🙈 Glare (Silau)
Glare is the uncomfortable brightness caused by poorly diffused light, often from direct sources. It disrupts comfort, focus, and can even trigger headaches.
📌 Tip: Use diffused lighting or anti-glare fixtures, and avoid placing light directly above desks or screens.
4. 🌡️Light Color (CCT – Correlated Color Temperature)
The color of light affects work psychology.
- Warm white (<3500K): Relaxing atmosphere.
- Neutral white (4000–5000K): Ideal for focus.
- Cahaya putih dingin (>5000K) bisa terlalu ‘dingin’ dan melelahkan jika terlalu lama digunakan.
📌 Solusi: Gunakan warna netral untuk ruang kerja agar seimbang antara kenyamanan dan semangat.
✨ Conclusion
Proper lighting can boost:
✅ Focus and concentration
✅ Mood and work energy
✅ Visual accuracy
✅ Long-term eye health
On this World Productivity Day, let’s encourage workplaces to take lighting design seriously.
Because good lighting = productive teams.
