Good light for a healthy back

The Waldmann task luminaire PARA.MI has been awarded a quality emblem by Aktion Gesunder Rücken (AGR) e.V. [Campaign for a Healthy Back], that rewards particularly ergonomic products, making Waldmann at this time the only lighting manufacturer to have received an award of this nature.

In ergonomic terms, lighting is a second-tier tool. It does not have a direct impact on the muscular-skeletal system but instead helps to prevent eye fatigue, and also has a significant influence on body posture at the workplace. The ability to process visual information can be impaired by lighting being too bright, too dark, and by casting too many shadows or reflections. To balance this out, we tend to squint, to turn our heads and to adopt an unfavourable seating position. As a consequence, our eyes tire fast, concentration levels decline and, in the worst case, we can suffer from muscular cramps, as well as backache and headaches.

All of that can be prevented by having the right lighting. AGR e.V. has subjected the task luminaire PARA.MI to comprehensive tests and has now awarded it the quality emblem to indicate that Waldmann lighting is particularly well suited to the task of delivering optimum workplace lighting.
