You’ll be seeing blue more often

Apparently a certain blue shade of light is meant to make teenagers more alert. As crazy as it sounds I think that it might actually work. I’ve been looking at the shade of blue for awhile and have found myself to be more alert as I am typing this.

We better get use to the colour as it’s going to be hanging around for quite some time. It has been developed by Philips electronics and has been tested in several schools so far with amazing results. The shade of blue light triggers the body to become more alert as the retina in the eye’s respond strongly to blue light. This response is a natural habit formed by the blue sky. Speaking of which they might as well just install sky lights and ask the students to look at the sky for awhile.
According to psychologist Effie Konstatinou at City University, London, “Lighting has not been seriously considered as a factor in performance until now”. “We know that there’s a direct link between lighting, well-being and performance”.
The light also has four settings normal, focus, calm and energy which each contain different variations of the blue light. Intense blue to make teenagers focus and up energy levels. And a slightly red colour to make teenagers calm. This blue light is set to change how schools look and students behave.
