Recently, I sat down with a few students to discuss their thoughts on how LED lighting affects their daily lives. One of the students I spoke with is Julie Mathis, an accounting major at the University of Memphis. She shared her perspective on lighting conditions in study spaces and how LED lighting compares to traditional lighting options.
Julie Mathis, Accounting, The University of Memphis
Q: Can you describe the lighting conditions in your study areas? How does LED lighting compare to traditional lighting in these spaces?
A: “I usually study under lamp lighting. At night, without proper lighting, I struggle to concentrate. I always notice when the lamp uses LED lighting because it’s bright enough for me to study comfortably without straining my eyes. Traditional lighting often feels too dim or harsh, making it hard to stay focused.â€
Q: Have you noticed any changes in your test scores or academic performance based on the lighting in your study environment? If so, can you share specific examples, particularly with LED lighting?
A: “With harsh overhead lighting, I tend to lose focus easily and feel more impatient. It creates an uncomfortable atmosphere that makes me feel pressured. While I don’t have specific examples, I know my performance suffers in spaces with overly bright or harsh lighting.â€
Q: How has the LED lighting in stadiums or sports facilities affected your experience at games or events?
A: “The LED lighting at events is great. Initially, it can seem overwhelming, but these lights help me engage more with the event and create a more welcoming atmosphere. They’re perfect for highlighting key moments and conveying messages effectively.â€
Morgan Klein, Health Sciences, Ohio State University
Q: In what ways do you think LED lighting influences your mood and energy levels throughout the day?
A: “Bright, cooler LED lighting keeps me alert and focused. Warmer, dimmer lighting, on the other hand, helps me relax and unwind. Bright LED lighting gives me more energy, making it ideal for studying.â€
Q: Have you experienced any negative effects, such as eye strain or headaches, that you believe are related to poor lighting? Has LED lighting helped alleviate these issues?
A: “I haven’t had serious issues with poor lighting, but flickering lights have caused headaches occasionally. High-quality LED lighting eliminates this problem and prevents headaches during study sessions or exams.â€

Q: If you've experienced positive changes from improved LED lighting, can you describe these changes and their impact on your daily life?
A: “LED lighting has made a big difference for me. It boosts my productivity for tasks like schoolwork and household chores. It also improves my mood and helps reduce fatigue, especially in the mornings. I accomplish more during the day when LED lighting is present.â€
Q: Do you believe there is a connection between lighting quality and your overall mental health and well-being? Please elaborate, particularly focusing on LED lighting.
A: “Absolutely. Proper lighting regulates my sleep-wake cycle. Morning exposure to light naturally keeps me energized throughout the day. LED lighting also uplifts my mood and increases my sense of optimism.â€
Research shows that good lighting can dramatically affect cognitive performance and mood. For instance, a study by the University of Michigan found that students studying under bright, natural light scored 25% higher on tests compared to those under dim, artificial light. LED lighting provides a smooth, flicker-free experience that mimics natural daylight, reducing eye strain and headaches, and enhancing concentration and cognitive function.
Enhancing lighting conditions on campuses could greatly benefit students academically and emotionally. By sharing these insights and testimonials, I hope to inspire universities to adopt better LED lighting solutions, creating healthier and more productive learning environments.
If you have personal experiences or thoughts about how LED lighting affects your student life, feel free to share them in the comments or reach out to me directly. Together, let’s push for a brighter, more sustainable future.

During my internship, I’ve been helping connect other U.S. universities with free or low-cost LED lighting upgrades. These upgrades not only enhance the student experience but also assist commercial and industrial clients in adopting energy-efficient solutions. Through this work, I’ve gained valuable insights into sustainability and energy conservation.
