Emerging technology is constantly changing the office work environment. In the past, most offices went with too much overhead and florescent lighting.

With this knowledge in mind now, many office designers are working to provide an effective lighting design. LED lighting is a part of most effective office lighting designs.

(it also)stimulates hormone production for alertness and activity.”
