It Is Too Bright In Here!

Help me give my students an environment with reduced harsh lighting so we can all see to learn without headaches, eyestrain, and exhaustion caused by fluorescent lighting.

My Project

Our classroom currently has 16 fluorescent lights scattered all over the ceiling. We also have a gorgeous window wall in our room. All of this light in the room creates a very bright space that is too bright for students and myself. I have quite a few students who wear glasses to see. I also am a contact/glasses wearer. The glare from the lights is intense and can strain eyes over the day.

I see my students halfway through the day rubbing their eyes and I believe they do this due to the strain caused by our lighting.

I would love to alleviate the strain by placing covers over the lights. I cannot turn them off as they are all connected so the room would be too dark. Covers is the solution I believe will be best. Please help me provide covers for our classroom so my students can see to learn!
