Lights that produce a glare are quite irrigating. Whether
you experience them at work, at the grocery store, or even at home, they cause
distraction and discomfort to all. Most of the time, this is due to improper
installation techniques for LED lighting. Designers and interior decorators
face this problem often. They deal with the challenge of having enough light
for illuminating an object or for reading, without producing any discomfort.
The best lighting isn’t the source, but more of where the
light is casted. Lighting designers explain that unless shielded, a light
source will cause a glare. This is why spotlighting is so challenging for
designers.
And even if you’re not a designer and run into these problems, we have some tip son how to cut down on glare if you run into a unshielded lighting fixture.
1.
Be mindful of the width of the beam angle. It
shouldn’t be too wide, in order to control the light from hitting eyes
directly. Instead, with a small width of beam, it will illuminate the object it
is supposed to, and only that object.
2.
Choose a fixture and bulb that allows you to
place the LED deep within it. This will keep the lighting from spilling out too
much.
3.
If not able to find a deep fixture/bulb, you can
put a tube on top of the fixture to create the same effect.
4.
Use a honeycombe louvre to hide the LED from the
eye which prevents glare.
5.
Opt for smart LED lighting and controls to dim
the lights when required.
Eliminate the glares which LED lights produce around your
home and work space with these simple industry tricks.
