Clear answer

Clear answer, explained.

Poor lighting can cause eye strain, fatigue, and reduced focus. LED lighting improves workplace conditions by delivering uniform light levels, better colour rendering, and reduced flicker compared to older lighting technologies. Modern LED systems can also be designed with appropriate colour temperatures (typically 3500K–4000K for offices) and integrated with controls such as daylight sensors and dimming. This creates a more comfortable and adaptable environment that supports concentration, reduces errors, and enhances overall workplace wellbeing.
