Do your eyes ever hurt at the end of a long day working from home? Are they more tired than usual? This may be due to poor desk lighting, which is especially important when it's dark.

Light that is evenly distributed in a room helps with concentration, according to an industry initiative from Germany's Electro and Digital Industry Association.

It relieves strain on the eyes because they do not have to constantly adjust to the different brightness levels in the room.
