[Audio] OFFICE LIGHTING DESIGN. abstract. OFFICE LIGHTING DESIGN.

[Audio] Lighting design is crucial in the office environment as it affects the visual comfort, productivity and overall well-being of the employees. Proper lighting can help reduce eye strain, headaches and improve focus and mood. In addition, an appropriate lighting design can enhance the aesthetics of the office space and contribute to a positive corporate image. Poor lighting, on the other hand, can have the opposite effects and result in a dull and uninspiring work environment. Therefore, it is essential to consider lighting design as an important aspect of office design and ensure that it meets the specific needs and requirements of the workspace..

[Audio] WHAT IS COMMERCIAL LIGHTING? Commercial lighting design refers to the process of planning, selecting, and installing lighting fixtures and systems in a commercial space such as a retail store, restaurant, office building, or any other type of public space. The goal of commercial lighting design is to create a functional, aesthetically pleasing, and safe environment that supports the specific needs of the business and enhances the customer experience..

[Audio] HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF LIGHTING DESIGN IN OFFICE ENVIROMENT Improves Visual Comfort: Proper lighting helps reduce eye strain, headaches, and glare, leading to increased visual comfort for employees. Enhances Productivity: Good lighting can improve focus and mood, leading to increased productivity in the workplace. Supports Well-being: Appropriate lighting can have a positive impact on the overall well-being of employees, helping to reduce stress and improve their health and comfort. Creates Aesthetics: A well-designed lighting scheme can enhance the aesthetics of the office space and contribute to a positive corporate image. Avoids Negative Effects: Poor lighting can have the opposite effects, leading to dull and uninspiring work environments that can result in decreased productivity and employee morale. Meets Specific Needs: It is important to consider the specific needs and requirements of the workspace when designing lighting, as different areas may have different lighting needs..

‘ SUITABLE & SUFFICIENT. N E X T. To ensure lighting is suitable and sufficient, several aspects of lighting and the workplace need to be considered. These include: Lighting design Type of work The work environment Health aspects Individual requirements Lighting maintenance, replacement and disposal Emergency lighting.

abstract. OFFICE LIGHTING STANDARDS. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) sets the minimum standard office lighting for all businesses in the United States. According to their website, a normal workstation requires 500 lumens per square meter. That may seem like a lot — or may not make any sense at all if you’re not familiar with lumens — but it actually breaks down to this: every 6’x6’ (or 36 square-foot) space should receive the equivalent light as from a 35-watt incandescent bulb. To put that in perspective, most desk lamps use a 60-watt bulb that produces 800 lumens..

Other office lighting standards, includes the following : Fluorescent ceiling fixtures and bulbs are the most basic suggested option Lighting layout should provide an even amount of illumination for the entire office space Fill in gaps with task lighting options Adjust lighting options to minimize shadows We’ll discuss some of these standards in more detail in other sections of this article..

N E X T. The color and temperature of your office lighting also play a vital role in the health and productivity of your team. In general, warm yellow or warm orange lights are better for relaxing and unwinding, while cool blue or cool white lights are better for waking up, working, and concentrating. Both fluorescent and LED bulbs emit light in the blue and white spectrum, making them ideal for morning illumination. LEDs also allow you to adjust the color and temperature so you can change the light they emit to mimic the natural light outside..

Bright light in the morning is best to stimulate alertness, activity, and creativity, while dim light in the afternoon is best for focused, stationary work. Modern LED office lights come equipped with a feature that allows you to adjust the brightness of the bulbs (sometimes automatically) according to the time of day. They start out bright in the morning and gradually dim as the day goes on..

. Another variable to keep in mind when setting up your office lighting is computer placement. The brightness of some lights — and even window location — can overwhelm even the best computer and laptop screens to such an extent that working on them becomes impossible. Position your office lighting and computer placement accordingly.

N E X T. Work environments should be illuminated whenever necessary to allow sufficient sight. For desk areas and reception areas where screens are frequent, lighting should never be so harsh as to cause glare..

. N E X T. Examine Your Workspace The first step in choosing the right office lighting is to examine your workspace. Make note of where the natural light comes from and if there is sufficient natural light that you can dim (or even turn off) artificial lighting during the brightest part of the day..

. N E X T. Determine The Type Of Office Lighting You Need When it comes to office lighting, options include: Direct Direct-Indirect Indirect Shielded.

. N E X T. Direct lighting — think desk lamp — is best as a enhancement for indirect lighting at individual workstations. Direct-indirect lighting — most often used in manufacturing to reduce glare — projects illumination up and down for even coverage throughout. Indirect lighting — most often used in office settings — projects illumination up towards the ceiling where it disperses over the entire area in a more natural manner. Shielded lighting — also used in office settings — filters and distributes illumination through various covers and lenses for complete coverage of a work environment. In most office settings, a combination of widely dispersed light sources (direct-indirect, indirect, or shielded) and direct task lighting works well..
