THE RIGHT LIGHTING FOR A GYM

In a place like a gym, it is necessary to find the right light to create a comfortable environment that helps instructors and all those who attend it.

The light, in an environment like the gym, has an importance that could be underestimated. In fact, the task of lighting is not to strain your eyes, so you don't need to have too much artificial light, like white or blue ones, nor should there be direct points that can be too annoying. The right light for a gym must be warm and indirect, and above all uniform. In fact, by creating more illuminated points and shadow points, the eye may become unnecessarily fatigued. If the gym is composed of a single room the ideal is the use of led ceiling lights conical in shape that projects light towards the floor. These must be placed above the tools, at least once every two. Beyond the lights, mirrors must also be chosen which have the function of further illuminating the room and allowing the athlete to check that his movements are correct. So the lights should never be aimed at the mirrors.

Wall lighting on the ceiling is widely used. Warm light LEDs are installed which are durable and allow better light to be projected and above all in a uniform manner. The room where the fitness takes place should also have large windows so that natural lighting can be used throughout the day. The LED lights must all have the same intensity and be of the same color, otherwise, the view would be fatigued and could also cause numerous annoyances to the sportsmen.

In rooms where more relaxing exercises take place it is advisable to have a more diffused light and to create a soft environment to allow those who practice certain exercises such as yoga and Pilates not to be disturbed by light. If the gym is made up of several rooms it is necessary that even in this case the lighting is uniform, preferring in all parts the same warm tone and the same type of lighting. In this way, an optimal environment is created to relax and train both the body and the mind. In fact, according to some studies the body trains better and the exercises are more effective when there are all the optimal conditions. Putting sight under strain means fatigue too much your body which is forced to get used even to not exactly optimal conditions.

There are regulations that establish which lights should be the best for environments such as gyms or halls where sports are practiced.
