What role does ambient lighting play in screen dependency?

Lighting 101: A Light Temperature Guide For Home Lighting preview

Ambient lighting plays a crucial role in managing screen dependency, as the color temperature and brightness of light significantly influence comfort levels and device craving. A warm lighting temperature (2700K to 3000K) creates a cozy atmosphere conducive to relaxation, while brighter, cooler lighting (4000K and above) can enhance focus and productivity but may lead to discomfort during prolonged screen usage[6][4].

For workspace tweaks, consider using dimmable LED bulbs that can adapt in brightness and color temperature based on the time of day and specific tasks. Layered lighting, combining ambient, task, and accent sources, can also help prevent strain and improve the overall effectiveness of your workspace[6][4].
