The educational environment has a crucial impact on students’ performance and attention. One often overlooked factor is the quality of lighting. Pro-cognitive full-spectrum LED lighting Spectrasol was developed to maximize cognitive functions and support students’ natural concentration. Here we explain how this technology works and why it is effective specifically in schools.
1. Impact of light on brain functions
The human brain is evolutionarily adapted to natural daylight, which contains a balanced spectrum of all wavelengths. Spectrasol faithfully replicates this spectrum, including the key azure component in the melanopic/circadian range (460–500 nm), which:
- Activates melanopsin ganglion cells in the eye – these send signals to the brain that, among other things, increase alertness and concentration.
- Supports serotonin production, the hormone responsible for good mood and mental performance.
- Synchronizes circadian rhythms, leading to more stable attention throughout the day and better sleep and regeneration during the night.
2. Studies confirming improved academic performance
Research in schools where Spectrasol full-spectrum lighting was installed showed:
- Improvement in short-term memory and sustained attention tests (CTU study at Prague high schools)
- Improvement in cognitive tests and success in secondary school entrance exams (experiment at a Bratislava elementary school)
- Significant improvement in visual functions (CTU study at a Prague elementary school for students with vision impairments)
3. Eye protection during extended learning
Conventional LED lighting in schools often contains excessive harmful blue light (415–455 nm), which:
- Causes increased eye strain
- Can contribute to the development of myopia and retinal degeneration with long-term use
Spectrasol addresses this problem by:
- Reducing harmful blue light
- Integrating deep red photobiomodulation (665–675 nm), which protects the retina and supports eye regeneration
4. Why schools choose Spectrasol over conventional lighting
- Improves academic performance and the work of students and teachers
- Reduces fatigue and supports mood and classroom atmosphere
- Students are less restless and can concentrate for longer periods
- Teachers report fewer discipline problems
- Supports mental and physical health of students and teachers
Conclusion
Spectrasol is not just lighting – it is a scientifically validated tool for better education. It combines biologically optimized spectrum, eye protection, and demonstrable improvement of cognitive functions, making it an ideal choice for any school environment.
