What should I know about office lighting?

Lighting - Protect yourself

  • If you have to setup near a window make sure your computer sits perpendicular to it, minimize eye-strain inducing glare on sunny days.
  • If you have florescent lights, try to position your set up between the lights.
  • Use "Parabolic louvers" to reduce the glare from fluorescent lights
  • Use window blinds to control the light source through the day
  • Panels or screens may be used to control glare
  • Protect your eyes from Ultraviolet A (UVA) and Ultraviolet B (UVB) by using an anti-glare screen
