As your eyes age, less light reaches the retina at the back of your eyes, which transmits information to your brain. Most people aged 60 need three times more light than when they were 20. Enhanced lighting can be extremely beneficial to people experiencing sight loss, however some eye conditions can result in glare problems even in normal light levels, which can be uncomfortable or even intolerable.Lighting hints and tipsIncrease contrast by using specific lighting in the right area: a task light in the kitchen to brighten up a work surface and quick start-up energy saving lights in the hall, stairs and landing.Avoid shadows in key areas by ensuring brightness levels are similar as you move through the house.Use light-coloured lampshades, keep windows clean and use bright surfaces to reflect as much natural light as possible.Use battery-powered LED (light emitting diode) lights in areas where trailing wires may prove hazardous.Use a combination of wall, table and floor lights to give an even spread of light rather than relying on one central light.Ensure you are never closer than 30cm (1ft) to any bulb and make sure task lighting is below your eye level; close to the task to avoid shadows.The amount of illumination on an object increases fourfold if the distance between the lamp and the object is halved. Remember to keep some background lighting on as well as it will help prevent eye strain.We’d like to demystify the terminology you’ll come across to make it easier for you to choose the right lighting products.We need to talk about KelvinLight colour temperature is measured in Kelvins (K) and named for William Thomson, the first Baron Kelvin.The lights you’re likely to come across will boast a light colour temperature from 2,700K (a warm white light) to 6,000K (a blue-white light similar to daylight).Simply speaking, the higher the colour temperature, the more white or blue the light will be. Lower colour temperature bulbs and tubes produce warmer, yellower colours – great for creating a friendly atmosphere, but not so handy if you need to match colours, for example.A 5,500-6,500K light is similar to daylight, provides great contrast and is excellent for working with colours and small details. It also reduces glare and eye-strain.Light bulbs with a ‘daylight’ colour temperature are not the same as ‘full-spectrum daylight’ bulbs, which produce light across the whole colour spectrum (rather than just mimicking the colour of daylight) and are used to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).The colour temperature of the light is unrelated to the actual heat produced by the tube or bulb. LED and compact fluorescent bulbs and tubes are much cooler to the touch than old-fashioned filament bulbs or halogen bulbs.Lumens, lux and wattsIf you were raised in the era of tungsten filament bulbs, you’ll remember that a 100W bulb was much brighter than a 40W one. Improvements in technology mean that although watts still define how much power a bulb uses, the link to brightness is long gone. These days it’s lumens and lux that measure how much light a bulb provides.Lumens tell you how much light is emitted from a light source, but lux is how much light can be measured on a surface (this will be affected by the distance from the light source and anything in the way, like a lampshade, for example).A light’s lumens do not change with distance, but its lux will. Let’s take a really big example to help demonstrate this. The sun produces approximately 41.8 billion billion billion lumens, but the lux we experience on Earth ranges from 1,000 on an overcast day to 32,000-100,000 in direct sunlight. On Jupiter, however, the lux will be much lower (about 4,650).When you’re choosing a light, lux must always include a distance to have any meaning: for example: 6,420 lux at 15cm and 1,850 lux at 30cm.Beware of choosing the brightest bulbs if you have problems with glare and contrast, as they can cause more problems than they solve.For further information on improving the lighting in your home please visit .uk/lightingPopular and portableGiven their flexibility, it’s no surprise that some of our bestselling lights are portable ones.Daylight Twist portable lamp (Bestseller)A mains-operated Daylight lamp with an easy-twist shade, so you can move the light into the perfect position each time.
