Latin America. The concept of ergonomics is not just a fad, it is an essential element for the design of modern workspaces. While today's organizations are already considering increasing well-being and health in offices, according to Humanscale, a pioneer and leader in the manufacture of ergonomic products for comfort at work, lighting is a key component to the ergonomics of a workspace.
Ergonomic lighting is crucial for well-being in the workplace and for preventing Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), which affects approximately 90% of workers at some point in their career. Symptoms of CVS include dry eyes, headaches, and blurred vision. In addition, inadequate lighting is a major contributing factor to eye strain. When designing healthy workspaces, it's important to remember that each person requires a unique amount of light.
Therefore, Humanscale recommends using dual source lighting, in which employees use both ceiling light and an adjustable work light, providing the perfect luminosity when and where it is needed. In addition, adding a task light to each desk reduces eye strain as they offer the ability to adjust and can make the worker more efficiently read a sheet or computer keyboard effortlessly.
In addition to the physical benefits, dual-source lighting can also have a positive financial and environmental impact. By reducing the need for excessive general lighting and the use of LED light sources, businesses can save on electricity bills and become more energy efficient. LED lights are a better choice for the environment because the energy consumption is drastically lower than a normal bulb.
The proposal that Humanscale brings, perfect to complement the ergonomics in the office and take care of the environment, are the Infinity and Horizon 2 lamps.
Humanscale's Infinity work light incorporates performance in an elegant and timeless design. Equipped with constant touch, it provides endurance and speed in any position. LED Infinity offers durable, high-quality light, blending into a single shadow. In line with the Humanscale philosophy of doing more with less, Infinity has been designed from a functional perspective to create a work light that is elegant, durable and attractive.
The Horizon 2 lamp is another striking example of Humanscale's commitment to high performance and functionality. This piece is available in six vibrant colors and perfectly complements any aesthetic design of home, office and hospitality spaces. Its bright light is powered by LED Thin Film technology, which produces an ultra-bright, reflection-free, uniform and even footprint. Horizon 2, is committed to the use of healthy and sustainable materials so it uses TPU material, an alternative of PVC, in its power supply.
These lamps can be easily adjusted in brightness and distance to meet the lighting needs of each user, resulting in a healthier and more comfortable workplace.
