Programme
Light, Education & Health
Improving learning, productivity and wellbeing through better lighting.
About the programme
What this programme is about
Light influences visibility, learning, workplace performance, safety, sleep and general wellbeing. Inadequate or poorly designed lighting can create visual discomfort, reduce productivity and increase electricity costs, while excessive glare and inappropriate light exposure can negatively affect comfort and health.
The Light, Education and Health Programme helps schools, homes, workplaces, health facilities and community buildings understand and improve the way they use both natural and artificial light.
What we do
Our areas of action
Lighting assessment and education
We assess illumination conditions and explain how light levels, glare, flicker, colour and placement influence visibility, comfort, safety and performance.
Daylighting solutions
Building users learn how windows, transparent roofing and improved interior arrangements can increase the effective use of natural light during the day.
Efficient artificial lighting
We support appropriate lamp selection, LED retrofits, improved fixture placement, lighting controls and maintenance practices that reduce waste and cost.
Solar and community lighting
Solar lighting solutions can improve safety, extend productive hours and provide dependable illumination where conventional electricity is unreliable or unavailable.
Our approach
How we work
Each intervention begins with an assessment of the building, user activities and existing lighting conditions. We then recommend practical improvements that balance visual performance, health, energy efficiency and affordability. Users and facility managers are guided on correct operation and maintenance.
Who we serve
Who the programme is for
The programme serves schools, churches, health facilities, households, offices, small businesses, local councils, community buildings and facility managers.
The impact we seek
We seek to improve learning and working conditions, reduce unnecessary daytime electricity use, lower lighting expenses, increase safety and strengthen public understanding of healthy and efficient lighting.
