Japanese Prefer a Bright Light

Thoughts and preferences seem to be different between countries.

Japanese tend to prefer a refreshing white light rather than a warm bulb light.

In fact, fluorescent lamps are equipped in almost all Japanese households.

Therefore, rooms in Japan are very bright even at night.

On the other hand, in Europe and the US, only required places are illuminated by incandescent light bulbs, and fluorescent lamps are not used so much.

If you use only the required brightness in the required places, you can save on electricity, and it will not disturb our your living rhythm.

For these reasons, recently in Japan, the modality of the illumination has been reconsidered.

日本人は明るいのが好き

照明に対する考え方や好みは、国によって差があるようです。

日本人は暖かい電球色よりもさわやかな白い光を好み傾向があり、実際ほとんどの家庭には蛍光灯が備え付けられています。

そのため部屋の中では、夜でもとても明るいです。

一方、欧米では蛍光灯はあまり使われず、白熱電球などで必要な箇所のみを照らしています。

必要な場所を必要な明るさで照らしたほうが、節電にもなり、我々の生活リズムにも影響を与えにくいと考えられます。

このような理由から、近年日本では、照明のありかたが見直されつつあります。

Hmmm...I think even in Japan this has changed maybe.
Maybe you know Tanizaki Junichiro's essay 「陰翳礼讃」。
He said in 1933 that Japanese people like dim light and Western people like bright lights.
I think the truth is some people like bright and some people like dark. Depends on the person more than the country :)

  "has been reconsidered" tells us that it has already been considered, but "being reconsidered" would mean that they are still thinking about considering a change.

Great job :D

I think it depends on personal preference rather than country preference. In my house, I have bright lights in the living room and warmer light in the bedroom. However, in my grandma's house and some of my friends' houses, it isn't like that. My friends' house has warm lights throughout, while my grandma prefer bright light throughout the house. So I guess it really depends whether you prefer warmer or brighter lights.
