Fluorescent and LED recessed lights are commonly used in thousands of home kitchens & bathrooms, offices & commercial spaces, hotels, hospitals, medical waiting & exam rooms, churches, and educational facilities. Fluorescent and LED lighting are cost-effective and efficient ways to illuminate a room. However, most people will agree that harsh fluorescent lighting and super bright LEDs aren’t desirable. So, what is the solution?
What is a standard recessed light light diffuser?
A diffuser is any material that scatters light, and it’s most commonly applied in the form of a light panel or cover. The primary purpose of a diffuser is to spread out light. It makes bright or harsh light softer across a wider area, eliminating unwanted glare.
Standard recessed light diffusers are often made of clear prismatic acrylics, which can still be exceptionally bright. They are also commonly made of polystyrene, which is brittle and yellows over time.
Why should I use premium-quality panels for my lighting?
There are many proven advantages to using higher-quality diffusers to further soften fluorescent and LED lighting and reduce glare. These panels typically do not become brittle or turn yellow. If those doing renovations were aware of this low-cost method of dressing up recessed lighting, they would be much more likely to avoid the hassle and high cost of drastically changing to alternative lighting methods. The result is a practical lighting solution that can also have a decorative element to it.
Some great benefits:
1. Less stress/better mood
Fluorescent lights are harsh on your eyes, and some experts believe that the glare and flicker of fluorescent bulbs (no matter how subtle) can affect stress, headaches, migraines, and other issues related to your nervous system. Diffusing the light by adding a premium light panel — either plain, featuring a serene scene, or an attractive pattern — can help decrease stress and improve your overall mood.
2. Improved productivity
Diffused, softer light makes concentrating on a task, work, or schoolwork much easier than the harshness of commonly sold polystyrene panels. With greater concentration comes greater productivity, which benefits all.
3. Reduced fatigue
Do you feel tired after being under fluorescent or bright LED lights for an extended period? Enhancing light diffusion makes eyes less strained, allowing for more energy and better mental sharpness throughout the day.
