How much thought do you give to the lighting in your home?

In Episode 8 of The Healthy House Podcast, Aaron is joined by Sam Coles to explore how light influences our daily lives, from our mood and concentration to how we wind down in the evening.

Sam explains the relationship between natural light and our body clocks, the differences between warm and cool lighting, and why choosing the right fittings involves more than finding something that looks good.

The conversation also explores lighting and sensory comfort for people with autism and ADHD, with a closer look at flicker, glare and colour temperature.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Natural light, circadian rhythms and sleep

• Warm versus cool lighting and where to use each

• Common kitchen lighting mistakes

• Blue light and LED bulbs

• Flicker, glare and sensory sensitivity

• Baffled fittings and why hiding the bulb can improve comfort

• Lighting that adjusts throughout the day

Whether you’re renovating, planning a new home or making small improvements to your existing space, this episode offers plenty to consider before choosing your lighting.

The Healthy House Podcast is brought to you by Weatherwise.

Produced by Crawford & Beattie.
