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.

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.

Love this product - easy to put into place - tones the room down to produce a calm and inviting atmosphere for my students.

Works great in my classroom. Seems to have made a difference for my students with sensory issues. Much calmer and relaxed.

20 times better than the life-sucking effects of fluorescent lights... A must for ALL teachers! Calming affect on students is measurable and awesome!

My main reason for purchasing the light filters was to filter out the light that shines above my SMARTBoard. It works great. I used the other three filters throughout my classroom. The effect projects a very calming glow. Love them! :)

I work in the legal department for a non-profit so we don't have the top-of-the-line office items. My office has no windows and the glare of the flourescent lights gave me headaches within the first week I was there. I searched for those "happy lights" but they are just another form of flourescent lights. I bought the filters and right away noticed a difference. My headaches went away and my co-workers always comment how much they like them. They aren't ideal for reading for long periods( I read a computer monitor or print pages for 8.5 hours a day 5 days a week) so occasionally I pull one of them back halfway to allow stronger light in. Overall they are a great purchase and a terrific price. Don't know why this is in the toy section though

My eyes are sensitive to bright light so I was excited to find this product. I ordered a set of four for my classroom and plan to order more. They are well constructed out of a heavy duty nylon fabric and each filter has 6 heavy duty magnents. The students appreciate them too!

They are OK. They are way cheaper than the plastic style sold elsewhere, so I really like that. They really could use additional magnets to keep gaps from showing. The magnets on them are plenty strong which is great; I just would like them to fit tighter.
