Frequently Asked Questions About Classroom Lights

Below are some of the most common questions about classroom lighting for schools. For additional information, you can also visit our Lighting FAQ page or our Resources & Education Library.

Are LED lights OK for kids?

LED lights are safe and beneficial for kids. They don't emit harmful UV rays, ensuring eye safety. Their superior light quality reduces eye strain and improves focus, which is ideal for learning environments. LED lights adjustable brightness and color temperature cater to various activities, enhancing comfort and productivity. Energy-efficient and long-lasting, they're also a sustainable, cost-effective choice for schools.

How many lumens do I need for a classroom?

Classroom lighting requirements vary based on the size of the space and its usage, typically aiming for a recommended light level of 500-1000 lux. For a standard classroom of around 60 square meters, a range of 30,000 to 60,000 lumens is generally advised, with 1 lux equating to 1 lumen per square meter. It's essential to consider factors to calculate how many lumens you need such as student age, activity types, and natural light availability, as specific lighting needs may vary.

What is the best color temperature for a classroom LED Light?

The optimal color temperature for a classroom varies depending on the activities. For tasks requiring focus, such as reading or writing, a cooler color temperature in the range of 5000K to 6500K can enhance alertness. On the other hand, for creative or relaxing activities, a warmer color temperature of around 3000K to 4000K creates a calming environment. With the CCT selectable feature in modern LED lights, educators can easily adjust the color temperature to suit different learning activities, making LED lighting an adaptable tool for fostering an ideal learning environment.

What grants are available for School LED Lighting?

Schools can benefit from several grants available to upgrade their lighting to energy-efficient LED solutions, often provided by federal, state, and local government initiatives and utility companies. Important sources include the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE), which funds energy-saving projects, and utility companies offering rebate programs for energy-efficient upgrades. Schools can also find valuable resources through the EPA's Energy Star program. However, conducting local research and consulting with a grant specialist or financial advisor is crucial to obtain accurate and current information on availability and eligibility criteria.
