Lighting specifications, such as color temperature and illuminance, have been shown to influence a multitude of human behaviors (Hedge, 2000). One particularly unexpected finding has been the influence of lighting on collaboration in social settings. A recent study found that rooms with dim, warm light were more likely to foster social collaboration than rooms with bright, cool light in them (Kombeiz, Steidle, & Dietl, 2017). This suggests that meeting rooms with bright, white light may inadvertently disrupt team work.
