LED VIRTUAL SKY

LED lights are 8 times more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, but did you know that LED technology can make us happier and more productive too? That’s what researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO found when they developed their LED virtual sky panels. Designed to replace ceiling panels in offices, the light-laced modules mimic the sky, giving workers the sense that they are in an open wide field. Much more pleasant than being under harsh, flickering fluorescents, wouldn’t you say? And since studies show that natural day lighting improves productivity upwards of 15%, these LED panels could lead to more work getting done as well.]
