Fluorescents: From Fatigue to Flourish
Prof. Emma Curry
ABSTRACT:
This literature review will take you through the journey of fluorescent lights in classrooms and how they have a negative impact on the learning environment of the student. The review will bring awareness to the fact that plenty of research has been conducted on this problem. Due to the vast amount of people that are negatively impacted by light, this literature review will prove its relevance to my topic and purpose.
Fluorescent lights are known to cause fatigue, eye disease and an overall feeling of lack of motivation. Why endure that, when it can be prevented? Let’s see what the impacted community, students and school staff are saying. Question: How will students be affected when fluorescents are taken away?
Keywords: classroom environment, lighting, negative impact on bright lighting
