LED and fluorescent light covers play a key but sometimes overlooked role in learning environments such as classrooms, laboratories and creative design studios. The right lighting environment can make a huge difference to concentration, mood, and even the physical health of students. 

Here’s a look at the benefit of using high quality light covers in educational settings.

Reducing eye strain and improving focus

Classrooms and labs often have harsh overhead lighting that can reflect off desks, screens and whiteboards. This can cause eye strain, headaches, and affect concentration and energy levels. 

Anti glare diffusers can soften the brightness of strip fluorescent or LED lighting, and distribute light more evenly across the room.

This makes it easier for students to read from computer screens or printed text, and improves learning outcomes. 

Shatterproof light covers for safety 

In environments where physical activity takes place, or there is a heightened risk of accidents, such as sports halls, science labs, workshops, and SEN rooms, light safety is a key priority. A shattered light cover can shower students with dangerous sharp shards and release hazardous materials. 

Shatterproof light covers are made from durable polycarbonate materials, and are designed to withstand hard impacts. This reduces the risk of adverse incidents and ensures compliance with health and safety standards.

UV filtering covers

Older types of lighting such as fluorescent bulbs can emit low levels of UV radiation, which can irritate skin and eyes, affect scientific experiments, and fade classroom posters and displays of student work. UV filtering light covers block or reduce UV radiation and protect people and materials from invisible harm. 

They are ideal for art and design rooms, science labs, and halls or corridors where art work or student projects are displayed.
