Recently, one of the coder rooms here at RustyBrick went dark, literally. I walked by and noticed they are working with the lights off.
I know lots of coders that prefer to work in the dark. Better on the eyes.
At least they are not sleeping. :)
It is funny, since we basically have no sales people - we are in a very quiet office. All you hear is typing all day. Even in that room which has four people, you don't hear much. They each listen to their music, on their headphones and type away.
They do get phone calls but I suspect the music from their headphones blocks out the noise from that.

Hey!
I recognize that office!
Way back...it used to have a beautiful mahagony conference table and chairs..with some file cabinets...
Might still have a few boxes of yo-yos in there too.
I sat there once and looked at a projection screen showing me a result on google for a blue pineapple chair...
Wow!
Converted to a major work environment....
Busy is good!!

Moved the conference room to a different room.

Natural light or indirect light is the only way to go. A pox on the person who invented fluorescent lights.
