Shield Your Cubicle From Overhead Lights

Shield Your Cubicle From Overhead Lights


Many people who work for large corporations spend their days in cubicles. These small, open spaces allow employers to fit many employees into one room while giving each some sense of privacy and his own space. While this system may work well--allowing co-workers to be separate but still communicate easily--it raises certain problems.


Most offices use fluorescent lighting because it is inexpensive and lasts a long time. However, fluorescent lights combined with cubicles tend to create unpleasant glares, either on computer screens or directly in workers' eyes. There are several simple ways to fix this and reduce eye strain.


Instructions


1. Cut directional glare with one or more Cube Shields. These shields are made of dark-colored nylon and affix easily to the top corners of your cubicle. Their tent shape blocks light from glaring straight down on your workspace.


2. Balance a Cube Shield right above your computer and on the corner directly behind the machine. Simply set them on the corners; velcro and their weighted edges hold them in place.


3. Eliminate fluorescent light altogether with a beach umbrella. Find one with a pole slightly taller than your cubical walls and a dark-colored canvas top. Most beach umbrellas come with a tripod for steadying them on hard surfaces.


4. Place a desk lamp on your desk with a soft white, full-spectrum light bulb. The softer, more natural light is better for your eyes and promotes feelings of comfort which helps reduce stress.
