Posted by As the days grow shorter and colder, the office seems to get chillier and darker. It’s not your imagination: it’s called the winter blues, or seasonal affective disorder. This is the time of year when we’re deprived of sunshine and daylight and this affects our mood. But with some good lighting, you can lift your spirits and banish the blues.
We bring you a selection of lamps to help reduce eyestrain at work, lend a bit of cheer and brighten up the office in the festive season.
So as the sun goes down and the darkness creeps into the office, why not let everyone warm it up with a nice desk lamp. They’ll give the office a warm and cosy glow. Plus here at UK Office Direct, we have some fantastic seasonal lighting offers.
