If you’re starting a new business location, or redecorating an existing one, here’s a tip for everyone’s comfort (and comfortable people are more productive). Get rid of those dreadful fluorescent lights and replace them with discount desk lamps instead.

While fluorescent lights are bright, they’re also very unnatural. The light they create is so harsh, and the subtle hum they emit is so grating that it gives many people headaches, which are distracting and make workers crabby. And when fluorescent lights get old, they flicker disconcertingly. Furthermore, fluorescent lights are easy to break, so you probably have some waste and messes to deal with when installers break them.

Buy discount desk lamps instead, to illuminate every workstation. You can order discount lamps in bulk to match your décor when you order office supplies. From the humble clip-on gooseneck to glass-shaded banker’s lamps for a classic look, the desk lamp comes in a variety of styles and finishes. While ordering your discount office supplies put soft white light bulbs in them, and you’ll have warm, pleasant, quiet lighting that will be nicer for everyone.
