Effects on School Children Learning with Lighting Color Temperature

The following Seesmart® Case Study contains portions from an original study article, “A comparison of traditional and high colour temperature lighting on the near acuity of elementary school children” (Lighting Res. Technol. 38,1 (2006) pp. 41_/52. Received 15 November 2004; revised 10 May 2005; accepted 10 May 2005). Photographs and charts were added to this Case Study by Seesmart® to illustrate key terms and ideas. The study tested and demonstrated the improvements in visual acuity in students when switching from traditional, relatively low, Color Correlated Temperature (CCT) lighting to a higher CCT lighting product. The findings of this study are important when considering lighting for an environment that involves reading, writing, and environmental interaction.
