The lighting used for illuminating
office spaces does more than just dissipate darkness – the lighting used has an
impact on energy bills, on the health as well as on the productivity of the
people working in the office and it also sets the general atmosphere in the
room. Here are some of the important features of correctly chosen office
illumination:
-
Energy efficiency – the
best lighting solutions for energy savings are LED lights. These modern bulbs
convert almost all the electricity they need into light, transforming only
about 5% into heat;
-
Eye health – how
healthy the lighting in an office is determined not only by the brightness of
the light (which should be over 800 lumens, ideally), but also by color
temperature. Measured in Kelvins, color temperature is practically the color of
the light emitted by your bulbs – 2000-3000 K light is perceived as cozy;
3100-4500 K light is crispy white, while 4600-6500 K light is similar to
daylight, therefore it is the healthiest for office work;
-
Combined light – one
central source of light cannot illuminate an entire office, therefore ideally,
the illumination in your office should combine overhead lighting as well as
separate lamps used on the desks. Also look for office chairs for sale that are made of mesh that allows the light to flow through them.
