Artificial lighting is any kind of lighting that is not from natural sources. It is commonly used inside homes all year round, and whilst it has its benefits, it can also have downsides. For example, using a lot of artificial lighting can have consequences for our sleep patterns, and cause them to become disrupted, when actually all we need to do is use less artificial light and more natural light.

There is often a lot of natural light you can make use of, it’s just that there aren’t enough ways to bring it into your home. By bringing in more, you can reduce your reliance on artificial lighting, and all the issues that go with it, including high energy bills. Installing rooflights is a step in the right direction, bringing natural light in from above. You will be able to switch off the bulbs and surround yourself in natural light instead.
