BENEFITS
Better Focus & Concentration
Classroom lighting affects student performance
It’s no secret that students have long had issues concentrating in the classroom. The physical environment of the classroom is a major contributor to student performance and classroom lighting plays an important role.
Fewer Headaches & Migraines
Classroom lighting should be soft and natural
Easily eliminate the harsh glare that can lead to fluorescent light headaches. NaturaLux fluorescent light filters block 100% of the glare and produces a clean white light.
When there is glare, your eyes must work harder to compensate. These over-worked eyes can be susceptible to visual fatigue and eyestrain.
Natural Lighting for Windowless Classrooms
Fluorescent light filters for classrooms improve the learning environment
The school year runs through the time period with the least amount of available sunlight. Our NaturaLux™ fluorescent light filters create full-spectrum light without the use of expensive full spectrum light bulbs or sun lamps.
Result: more exposure to healthy light when your body and mind need it most. This exposure will help regulate sleeping patterns and improve mood.
Fluorescent light affects sleep cycles
Classroom lighting can affect hormones responsible for circadian rhythm
There is a tiny gland in our brains, called the pineal gland, which regulates the production of the hormones called melatonin and serotonin.
These hormones are crucial to regulating our sleep cycles. Exposure to natural sunlight helps the pineal gland regulate the production of these vital sleep hormones.
Class A Fire Rating

Trusted By Hundreds Of Teachers
I just installed the panels in my classroom and my co-teacher and I already feel less eye fatigue, even with all of the lights on. The panels were very easy to install and do not result in less light, just different light. I only wish I'd had these 9 years ago when I started teaching!

I feel that the NaturaLux filters add to the peaceful learning environment that I try to maintain. In addition, I have noticed that the attentiveness of a child with ADHD seems to have improved. He completes his daily assignments and is a frequent participant in my lessons.
