It goes without saying, in today’s day and age, we could all find use in becoming more conscious of the environment.

Whether it be due to the climate change affecting our polar ice caps, or our oceans being overrun with toxic waste, there has never been a more pertinent time to start taking the environment more seriously. This includes taking small steps to implement eco-friendly practices in our daily lives.

For example, while it might have been perfectly acceptable to stay in your shower for 60 minutes in the past, with the need for water conservation at an all time high, you may feel it necessary to trim your time in the shower to 10-15 minutes instead.

Beyond saving water and recycling, nothing could be more in need of earth friendly alternatives then lighting. This goes for your home, office, and business. With that being said, why not combine earth-friendly lighting with earth-friendly decor to be as environmentally conscious as possible?

This can be achieved with decorative fluorescent light covers from Octo Lights.

What Are Decorative Fluorescent Light Covers?

If you’ve never been introduced to fluorescent light covers before, then you likely don’t have an idea in regards to the truly amazing benefits these innovations in decorative lighting can provide any room.

Consisting of a light diffusing panel, light covers go over any existing fluorescent light fixtures, and display an assortment of images to pull off an amazing effect on the eye.

For example, by installing cloud light covers in an area of your home with little to no natural lighting, you’ll get the same effect that you would receive from real skylights, with all of the benefits and without the extreme cost.

By visiting octolights.com, you’ll find a wide variety of ready-made light covers, all with different themes and subject matter. You can even create your own custom light covers in order to create a fully personalized space.

What Makes Octo Lights The Eco Friendly Choice For Fluorescent Light Covers?

Now that you’re familiar with our light covers, and what they can do as far as transforming a room in your home, office, or business into a work of art, in order to understand how Octo Lights is the only eco-friendly choice for light covers on the market let’s delve into some of the environment conscious efforts our company continues to make:

We Use Water Based Inks -

At Octo Lights we emphasize implementing safe and environmentally friendly practices throughout the entire process of creating our incredible light covers.

This includes the way in which our light covers are made, as we use UV resistant water-based ink, which not only has a small impact on the environment but significantly increases the longevity of our fluorescent light covers as well.

We Recycle -

In just another effort to keep the environment at the forefront of everything we do, Octo Lights responsibly recycles any materials we end up not using.

In fact, these materials are delivered directly to our local recycling center in Alpharetta, Georgia (where our company is based out of).

Multipurpose Fluorescent Light Covers

On top of being eco-friendly products, our fluorescent light covers provide an instant upgrade in visual resonance and work for a wide range of spaces and areas.

This is especially true with our custom light covers, as being able to use images of your choosing in your light covers, means you’ll be allowed to showcase your personal interests and style in any room. Some of the best places to use our fluorescent light covers include:

Business Offices

When it comes to a business office, nothing could be more important than the productivity of those working in the environment itself.

Sadly, typical business office decor is lacking in any visual intrigue, which could have the opposite effect on employees, killing their workflow and making them increasingly more sluggish throughout the workday.

To remedy this, you can install landscape light covers on your office ceilings and walls. These light covers display gorgeous mountainscapes and, when installed on a wall, can provide the illusion of a real window that looks out into a expansively breathtaking outdoor scene.

Your Home

As mentioned in the beginning of this article, one of the best places to use our fluorescent light covers is in a cramped room in your home with little to no light.

Similar to our cloud light covers, our astronomy light covers are perfect for a cramped kitchen or bathroom. These light covers display gorgeous galaxies and nebulae and can make any room appear noticeably larger. These light covers are also perfect for a child’s bedroom or space-themed man cave.

Medical Offices

Medical offices -- such as an office for a pediatrician, nutritionist, dentist, or physical therapist -- see a massive number of patients on a daily basis.

These patients may have fears when it comes to receiving the medical attention they need, thus it’s almost imperative to ensure your medical office is equipped with the right decor and lighting to create a calming and relaxing atmosphere in order to soothe your patients from the moment they step foot into your office.

While you may be able to accomplish this with expensive furnishings and renovations, why not go the simpler and more affordable route by installing tree light covers?

It’s a known fact that images of nature can instantly calm the mind, which is why our tree light covers -- which display beautiful foliage and plant life -- are perfect for medical offices. You can use these in your waiting rooms or even the spaces where the bulk of medical procedures take place. The possibilities are endless.
