Endorphins reduce stress and discomfort and provide natural pain relief, where serotonin helps regulate our mood as well as our sleep, appetite, digestion, learning ability and memory.

Inefficient lighting is associated with a range of health conditions, both physical and mental, such as eyestrain, headaches and fatigue. Thankfully, this can be avoided with the right lighting
