Choosing the proper lighting in the workplace is essential for creating a comfortable and relaxing environment, preventing eye fatigue, and improving performance. Here are some ideas for office lighting, from choosing lighting points to the best shades to help you focus.
1) Light Placements
Where lighting is placed is critical to the balance of light. Too much light can irritate the eyes, while too little light can negatively impact health and productivity. The light coming in through windows can change the placement of desks and other workspaces when they are closer to the light source. At the same time, if windows are large, proper installation of shading fixtures such as blinds, curtains, or Venetian blinds can soften the excessive effects of the sun and prevent unpleasant reflections on computer screens.
2) Which Lighting Fixtures Are Most Appropriate?
Choosing the right type of lighting can impact professional performance and the environment. By choosing LED lamps, which have a low energy load, you can save a great deal of money on your electricity bill and provide a valuable service to the global environment.
In this case, LED spotlights are the ideal solution, as they can be conveniently placed in corners where needs are high and can be moved if you want to change the brightness. Another option is to combine LED lighting with compact fluorescent or halogen lamps to achieve brightness and energy savings in the work environment, making them particularly suitable for placement on desks.
3) What Color to Choose
Generally, white, neutral light that is not too intense is the solution of choice for fatigue. This color is closest to natural light and has a calming effect that improves concentration and prevents eye fatigue. This hue can also help create a more comfortable and friendly work environment. Depending on the workplace, you may also choose warmer light colors, such as yellow and orange, or cooler light colors, ranging from blue to light blue.
4) Lighting Methods for Open Offices
Open-space offices have a single standard room with no walls or partitions, encouraging staff collaboration and teamwork and contributing to a more informal and inviting environment. To better illuminate open office spaces, ceiling or suspended light panels are particularly well suited, creating a softer, more diffuse light that can simultaneously illuminate multiple workplaces within the same environment.
5) Back Office Lighting
The back office is the company’s heart and where the most important activities take place. In this case, the best choice is to have more functional and direct lighting above the desk. This can be achieved by installing LED panels on the ceiling, combining modern style with high-quality light to illuminate the work environment diffusely.
6) Representative Office Lighting
A representative office is used as a place to receive visitors and business partners and for more casual gatherings such as conferences and reunions. Therefore, the representative office has a mission to express the values and mission of the company through the choice of furniture and lighting, which is why it is essential to pay attention to every detail to achieve this.
Lighting choices for this particular environment must combine functionality and style, focusing on design and harmony with the style of the furniture. For example, LED spotlights installed in suspended ceilings are the perfect lighting to complement the furniture and give the room an elegant and refined atmosphere. Pendant lamps are ideal for brightening table surfaces and the center of the room.
