LED LIGHTING

RCS is the first school in our area to exclusively ​use LED lighting throughout all facilities.

Why does that matter?

Studies show that LED lighting:

  • decreases occurrence of headaches
  • decreases stress and anxiety
  • increases productivity and performance
  • balances circadian rhythm
  • reduces carbon footprint
  • eliminates light flicker and hum
  • eliminates UV emissions
  • provides the full light spectrum (consistent light appearance)
