What Is The Best Lighting For Fitness
Room? |
Whether you would like to start working out indoors to avoid
the harsh weather conditions or you simply have a dedicated
fitness room in your home, exercising in the comfort of your
own home can be an amazing way to stay fit. Sadly, interior
spaces are often not so accommodating for workouts, which
would make your decision to exercise at home quite
unappealing. However, you can easily improve your interior
workout experience without breaking the bank by making a few
changes to your home gym lighting. So what is the best
lighting for fitness room?
1. Natural Light
The best lighting for your fitness room is actually natural
lighting. Research has shown that natural light can help you
feel more energized and alert. It can also create a great
atmosphere in a room for your fitness needs. In addition,
using natural light instead of artificial light can help
save cash on your utility bills. If your fitness room has
large windows, you can use them by creating curtains and
placing your fitness equipment near the spread of natural
light.
If possible, use a indoor space with large windows for your
home fitness room. Alternatively, you can install windows on
the upper part of external walls or you can use your
ceilings as skylights. Place your equipment near the walls
to take advantage of the sunlight during the day. Apart from
adding a bright look to your fitness room, you may want to
use as much sunlight as you can because it is a
cost-effective way to light up your fitness room.
2. Use Vibrant Overhead Lighting
If you have a fitness room with just a few windows or you
find it better to exercise after dark, you might need to
make a few changes to your artificial lighting. Light over
5000k in terms of colour temperature has been proven to
offer the same energizing and refreshing effects as
sunlight. It is advisable to replace your old lights with
either LED or CFL bulbs. Both sources of light have shown to
produce quality light in a favourable setting without
generating too much heat. However, light in the best colour
temperature is never enough. Brightness is another important
part of creating the perfect environment for your home
fitness room. Consider getting LED-recessed lights. These
use 90% less energy than conventional incandescent bulbs.
Full spectrum daylight bulbs should also be installed in
fixtures.
3. Your Fitness Room Should Be Equally Illuminated
Nothing makes a fitness room gloomier than a poorly lit
space with small shadows cast all over. Make sure that your
source of light is able to equally distribute light around
your fitness room to avoid shadowy spaces or very bright
areas that may end up distracting you from your workouts.
4. Dim Your Lights for Modest Exercises
You may want to work out in a more calming environment
during your modest routine or cool-down exercises like
Pilates or yoga. It is advisable to install a light dimmer
switch system to help you achieve the necessary effect. On
the other hand, use cool, bright white lights for your
rigorous exercises and dim the light when you want to do
some stretching or modest exercises for a calmer atmosphere.
You may want to consult a professional to inquire about the
best dimmer systems for your fitness room.
5. Important Notes
It is advisable to stay away from florescent lighting for
your fitness room. While fluorescent bulbs produce the
brightest light, the general effect can be a bit harsh for
your workout. Fluorescent bulbs also seem to be flicker and
may cause headaches and fatigue in some individuals. Make
sure that you plan the design of your workout equipment
before designing the lighting system to ensure suitable
areas in your fitness room are improved. Don’t forget to put
mirrors around your home gym to keep track of your progress.
Overhead lights can also be used to create a more even
spread of light for great workout sessions. You may also
want to use flooring light fixtures to create a glare
against your wall mirrors. Apart from motivating you to
carry out your workouts, the combination of good lighting
scheme and mirrors can give your fitness room a feeling of
spaciousness. Complete your appealing fitness room with
photos and images of successful bodybuilders or athletes,
highlighted with accent lights. |
