I have eight flourescent lights in my 1st grade classroom, and I bought one set of these tranquil blue light filters to try in my room last year. (The store only had one package in stock.) I have looked everywhere for another set, because they made such a difference!! I think the filters had a tremendous calming influence in my class. I also have autistic children mainstreamed into my classes, and it REALLY seemed to help them settle down. I have also noticed over the years that students get headaches in the afternoon (I know I get them from the flourescent lights myself), and we did not have nearly as bad a problem last year with headaches. I HIGHLY recommend this product, especially if you have a lot of children with ADHD or autism. They were also incredibly easy to put up, because of the magnets in the edges & on the corners. They fit perfectly on the lights, and went on, literally, in seconds.

This review is from: Classroom Light Filters-Tranquil Blue - Set of 4 (Office Product)

We recently moved to a new office building where there are WAY too many bright florescent lights, directly above our workspaces. After attempting to work for 3 days, I started looking for a product to diffuse the light so that it is not so blinding, as I had a headache all day every day.

After finding these, and installing them in less than 30 seconds, my workspace is a nice diffused shade of blue. "Tranquil" definitely is a good way of describing them! My co-workers all loved it as well and plan on buying some for above their desks.

Before purchasing, I would make sure that your light fixtures are metal so the magnets to install these with will work. Not sure if all of them are metal, but I was worried that ours were not once I realized how these install (luckily they were).

I teach high school, and lately, with budget cuts, I have 35 students at one time. I put these up last fall to ease the glare (mostly for me), and I just love them. The kids are calmer, and with 35, I don't even want to think of how it would be without them! I plan to get some for the social worker, and principals office.
