I was very excited when I learned that I was going to get a real office in place of the cubicle that I had used as my office for the last couple of years. There was no privacy in the cubicle, and apart from being noisy at times, my personal items got “borrowed”, never to be returned.
However it turned out that, like many other offices in the building, it was located in the middle and had no windows. Although the office was well ventilated and illuminated, I often got suffocating feelings, especially during long and busy workdays. I heard similar complaints from other co-workers who occupied offices like mine. Some felt claustrophobic and the productivity was going down. After three months I moved back to my cubicle again.
When I read about the “Bright Blind”, I thought it was a perfect solution for those offices. Simulation of a window in a windowless office is certainly a bright idea. It will not only rid the employees of that suffocating feeling, but in return improve their productivity.
Control of brightness is fascinating because it will simulate natural conditions; bright, cloudy, morning, and evening.
The product seems somewhat expensive but its benefits outweigh the cost. The employers would soon realize its benefits in a short time in shape of increased productivity and high spirits of the employees. I would recommend this product to all employers who are running short on space and have several windowless offices in their buildings.
