Light Conversation

Shedding some light on the subject - Self-proclaimed "lighting geek" Rodney Heller of Energy Performance Lighting described the negative and positive impacts of light. Heller said his company tries to find new and better ways of using the best lighting science, design and technology to reduce energy costs, and help people thrive as they live, work, learn and play. "We are all products of light," said Heller. "Healthy lighting and healthy darkness is all linked to human health." Internal body clocks, different day and evening lamps, seasonal affective disorder, increased productivity, and reduction of sundowners in nursing home residents was addressed. EPL serves as consult to nursing home facilities, hospitals, K12 schools, universities, correctional institutions and corporations.
