Health & Wellness Lighting

Poor lighting design can often lead to health issues which commonly include eye problems, headaches, and sleep loss. Employers see this as potential to improve production and decrease sick time which in turn improves productivity. Care should be taken to consider key parameters when lighting is upgraded or installed in occupied spaces.

For the lighting industry, Intertek can evaluate lighting products with a specific set of parameters set forth by healthy lighting requirements, ensuring your product’s quality.

Many programs exist that can often contain differing criteria and test methods for metrics associated with healthy lighting.  It is important to understand your intended market and the necessary reports required - Intertek can help.
