skärmljus

Skärmljus, sometimes referred to as bias lighting, is a lighting technique that involves placing lights behind a display screen such as a television or computer monitor. The primary purpose of skärmljus is to reduce eye strain and improve the perceived contrast of the screen by creating a soft, ambient glow around the edges of the display. This glow helps to create a more comfortable viewing experience, especially in dimly lit environments.

The light emitted by skärmljus is typically a soft, neutral white or a specific color temperature, such as 6500K, which is similar to daylight. This helps to prevent the eyes from having to constantly adjust between the bright screen and the dark surroundings, a common cause of fatigue. By illuminating the wall or surface behind the screen, skärmljus effectively lowers the perceived difference in brightness between the display and its background.

Studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that skärmljus can lead to reduced eye fatigue, fewer headaches, and an overall more pleasant viewing experience. While not strictly necessary, it is a popular addition for many who spend extended periods in front of screens. The installation is generally straightforward, often involving LED strips that can be adhered to the back of the monitor or television. The intensity and color of the skärmljus can often be adjusted to suit individual preferences and ambient lighting conditions.
