Light is one of the most important factors for human development and modernization. Artificial lighting has majorly revolutionised the world by becoming a part of everyone’s routine life. It has eradicated the limitations of old lighting methods and has contributed to better quality of life overall⁵. Adequate lighting is said to boost one’s sense of safety and security, and allow for activities that cannot be done in the dark, such as reading, writing, etc.^1,2. Researchers who worked on the Hawthorne studies and Sun et al. further find that good lighting also positively impacts productivity and improves accuracy^4,3;p6.
