Office Lighting

How Should Office Lighting Be?

Lighting is very important in offices where we spend most of our time. In this context, an ideal office lighting should aim to reduce eye fatigue by maximizing the use of natural light sources. For this reason, office lighting fixtures should provide a homogeneous light distribution and be in a cool white light tone. Because office lighting in this structure helps employees feel more energized and focused. At the same time, by choosing LED lighting systems for offices, both environmental awareness is increased and cost savings are achieved. In addition, care should be taken to ensure that the light level is not too bright or too dim, and factors harmful to eye health such as flickering and flashing should be prevented. In this way, work efficiency increases as the comfort of employees increases. In parallel, the general atmosphere of the office is positively affected.

Areas where office lighting is used

There are many areas where office lighting fixtures are used. Since these areas vary according to different functional needs in the office, office lighting products are also shaped according to the characteristics of these areas. In this context, the areas where office lighting is used are as follows;

Meeting Rooms

Meeting rooms must be properly lit to ensure efficient collaboration and effective communication. For this reason, a homogeneous light distribution should be ensured in meeting rooms and all participants should benefit from equal light comfort. For this, LED panel or linear luminaires with large surfaces should be preferred. In addition, the color temperature should be around 4000K (neutral white) on average. In this way, the focus of the employees is increased and a professional atmosphere is created. At the same time, the CRI value should be above 80 for natural perception of colors and pendant lamps or spotlights that provide focal lighting should be used in central areas. In addition to all these, lighting with modern design, integrated with appropriate acoustic panels, is preferred to provide sound control and support the overall aesthetics of the room. Thus, the meeting room will have an efficient and comfortable working environment.

Open Office Spaces

Open office spaces are large workspaces where multiple employees are in the same environment, encouraging collaboration and communication. Lighting in such areas should be carefully designed to increase the comfort and productivity of employees. In particular, office lighting applications where a homogeneous light distribution will be provided and all work areas are equally illuminated should be preferred. For this reason, office lighting applications are ideal for linear LED luminaires or large surface LED panels. At the same time, by choosing cool white light for open office areas, employees can be supported to stay energized and focused. In addition, a high color rendering index (CRI 80 and above) can be preferred in open office lighting to support the natural appearance of work materials and colors. In this way, a decorative and modern look is achieved. As a result, by choosing the right lighting in open office areas, an ideal working environment where employees can focus comfortably is provided.

Rest Rooms

Due to their structure, rest rooms are one of the areas where employees can relax and renew their energy by getting away from the intense work tempo. For this reason, the lighting of rest rooms should both provide visual comfort and create a calm and relaxing atmosphere. For this, warm white light (2700K-3000K) can be preferred to create a natural and soft environment. At the same time, the atmosphere of the space can be supported by choosing solutions that soften the light, such as LED strips or wall sconces. In addition, by choosing a dimmable office lighting fixture, the light level can be adjusted according to the brightness of the environment. Thus, savings can be achieved. As a result, by making employees feel comfortable and peaceful, rest rooms can be transformed into an effective break area.

Reception and Welcome Areas

Reception and reception areas are the first impression of an office and offer a remarkable space for visitors. Since the lighting design in these areas should create an aesthetic, functional and inviting atmosphere, decorative pendant lamps or modern LED lighting elements can be preferred. In addition, the color temperature should be on average 3000K-4000K (warm white or neutral white) to ensure a homogeneous light distribution throughout the area and the brightness level should be easy on the eyes. This way, both a warm and professional atmosphere can be created. In addition, by using motion sensor lighting systems, great savings can be achieved in office environments. If all these elements are provided, it illuminates the reception and reception areas both aesthetically and functionally, allowing guests to get a positive impression of the office.
