Lighting is one of the most influential elements of any office environment. Poor lighting causes eye strain, headaches, and fatigue, while well-designed lighting improves focus, mood, and overall productivity.
Why Lighting Matters
Research shows that lighting quality directly affects employee wellbeing and performance. Too dim, and people struggle to concentrate. Too bright, and the glare causes discomfort. The colour temperature also plays a role — cooler tones promote alertness while warmer tones aid relaxation.
Beyond comfort, lighting represents a significant proportion of an office’s energy consumption. Upgrading from fluorescent tubes to modern LED technology can reduce lighting energy costs by up to 70%, making it one of the most cost-effective improvements you can make.
Task Lighting
Desk-mounted or freestanding luminaires provide focused light for individual workstations. They are particularly important in open-plan offices where ceiling-mounted lighting alone may not provide sufficient illumination for detailed work.
Human-Centric Lighting
We design schemes that support the body’s natural circadian rhythm by adjusting colour temperature throughout the day — cooler, energising light in the morning and warmer, calmer tones in the afternoon. This approach has been shown to improve sleep quality, alertness, and overall staff wellbeing.
