    About this ebook

    When was the last time you thought about the light around you? Whether we’re walking in the park or working hard at our desks, we’re often too busy to consider it. Yet without light, we wouldn’t be here at all.
    From the golden glow of the sun to the blue allure of the moon; from the enticing hot pink of a neon sign to the angry yellow flicker of a fluorescent tube – light is all around us. But do we ever stop to reflect on what light is and how it affects us? Is there a difference between the dazzling rays of summer sunshine and the bright white glare of an LED lamp?
    This book is designed to get us thinking about light, help us learn a little about the different types of light we are exposed to, and provide simple tips on how to relate to them for maximum benefit. The aim of the book is to raise awareness about the power of light and what we can do to optimise our relationship with it.
