Improved lighting for reading can help kids avoid eye disorder
Over the last decade, more children have faced short-sightedness, or myopia, at very early ages partly because they spend much time indoors playing video games or reading in their rooms. Parents improve lighting for reading by installing a good desk lamp for kids can also help them avoid eye disorders.
Sufficient light
When studying and reading in low-illumination areas, kids have to strongly focus on close objects, like books, which can cause eye tiredness and blurred vision. Especially for children under the stage of physical development, the eyes are highly sensitive to light. Hence, long hours of reading require adequate lighting and a comfortable ambiance.
Whether we read in the sun or at our desk, certain lighting standards must be applied to protect the eyes. For a desk lamp, the illuminance should be at least 500 lux (as indicated in EN 12464-1: “The Lighting of Workplaces”).
Even light distribution
When reading, the eyes have to move constantly to different positions in the book. If the light only focuses on the center, the surrounding areas will be blurry, causing fatigue and tiredness. In order to prevent these problems, good lighting for reading shall be applied, with the light uniformity being over 0.7 (EN 12464-1: “The Lighting of Workplaces”).
Good lighting for reading means light uniformity of more than 0.7.
High Color rendering index (CRI)
The CRI reflects the color appearance of objects being illuminated. If the CRI is low, the color of the object illuminated by such LED light will not be rendered as well as under sunlight. This causes confusion in the colors of objects, affecting children's judgment when evaluating them. Therefore, the CRI must reach a minimum of 80 for true color.
Blue light prevention
The LED package is the most important part of a lamp. Products using low-quality LED packages containing lots of blue light will badly affect children’s sleep cycle and natural activity. For instance, they can get sleeping difficulty, eye strain or blurred vision etc. In addition, exposure to blue light for a long period will increase the risk of eye diseases (like nearsightedness), affecting children's health.
Exposure to blue light for a long period will increase the risk of eye diseases.
