The office is one of the places where we spend most of the day, so it is very important for it to be well lit. The lighting<\/strong> in an office influences the visual health and well-being of workers. The right lighting boosts productivity, improves motivation and helps reduce absenteeism. Did you know that there is a minimum recommended lighting level for offices?<\/p>\n

Types of office lighting<\/h2>\n

Natural lighting<\/h3>\n

The sun<\/strong> is the best option in order to work calmly and easily, without tiring the eyes. Having sunlight at work has the following advantages:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Reduced fatigue and better performance<\/strong>. Headaches, eye fatigue and general discomfort are more common when there is poor lighting. All of this has an impact on worker performance and responsiveness.<\/li>\n
  • Natural light helps to maintain a good mood<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • It helps regulate the biological clock and helps you fall asleep<\/strong>. People who enjoy quality rest perform better, feel better and are in a better mood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The lack of windows and natural light increases moodiness and the desire to leave the premises as soon as possible, as the worker may feel closed-in, which increases tension and stress.<\/p>\n

    Artificial, sustainable lighting<\/h3>\n

    It is important to have slightly brighter and more direct light at each workstation in order to work comfortably. In this regard, focal lighting provides sufficient visibility.<\/p>\n

    This is lighting that affects an individual area, which is why a hanging or flexo light is usually used.<\/p>\n

    There is an increasing trend towards the installation of LED lamps, which consume 80 to 90% less energy than bulbs and lamps. LED bulbs do not have filaments, but rather light-emitting diodes; LEDs are semi-conductive electronic components that emit light when electric current passes through them. The energy difference is a tremendous amount of light. Although the investment is greater, it pays off in a short time and contributes to the sustainable development of companies.<\/p>\n

    Advantages<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • It provides the right amount of light for each workstation, according to the type of activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Disadvantages<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • A fixed installation is required in each area and for each type of luminaire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Decorative lighting<\/h3>\n

        The main purpose of decorative lighting is to create a warm, pleasant atmosphere and to make a space more attractive by highlighting its forms, colours and textures. It also helps us to highlight spaces within the office complex.<\/p>\n

        Decorative lighting is used in areas such as the reception, where it also serves to highlight specific elements or colours to emphasise the corporate aspect of the space.<\/p>\n

        Advantages<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • It provides a warm, pleasant light, thus promoting well-being and relaxation in communal areas.<\/li>\n
        • It can be used for designer luminaires and sculpture lamps, giving the environment an elegant and sophisticated air.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Disadvantages<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Care should be taken to ensure that decorative lighting does not cause visual disturbances, such as glare or reflections that impair the normal performance of work activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Recommended lighting levels in offices<\/h2>\n

            It is important to find the most appropriate lighting levels for each activity. For example, in design rooms, where colour rendering is of great importance, the lighting will be much more demanding.<\/p>\n

            In order to achieve a good level of visual comfort, a balance must be struck between the quantity, quality and stability of light, ensuring that there is no glare and flicker, uniformity of illumination, absence of excessive contrasts, etc.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Work tables, administrative: 400 to 700 lux<\/li>\n
            • Drawing tables, design: 600 to 1500 lux<\/li>\n
            • Meeting rooms, boardrooms (general lighting): 200 to 350 lux<\/li>\n
            • Meeting rooms, boardrooms (above the table): 400 to 700 lux<\/li>\n
            • Archives: 100 to 400 lux<\/li>\n
            • Transit areas: 150 to 500 lux<\/li>\n
            • Corridors and transit areas: 150 to 500 lux<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Example of office lighting<\/h2>\n

              Natural lighting<\/h3>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n

              Natural lighting is closely linked to the choice each company makes for its offices. This is an example of how it can be a great ally in creating areas that provide a high level of comfort and concentration.<\/p>\n

              Artificial lighting<\/h3>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n

              The integration of artificial lighting in harmony with the architecture can be a great resource for proper lighting in workspaces where concentration is required.<\/p>\n

              Decorative lighting<\/h3>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n

              In this case, the use of spot and decorative lighting was used to emphasise informal meeting areas and to differentiate them from the rest of the space.<\/p>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n

              This is another example of how indirect decorative lighting helps to create a higher quality and more comfortable atmosphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
