An office environment plays a pivotal role in an individual’s work performance, productiveness, and employment quality in a myriad of ways. A decisive parameter that tops the list in an office setting is illumination. Be it regarding the concentration or satisfaction levels; studies have proven and confirmed that an individual’s health, well-being, and productivity at work can be altered, literally, at the flick of a switch.
Poor and inadequate lighting directly affects workers’ health leading to ophthalmic strain, headache, and fatigue. However, it can pretty much also subtly and ambiguously impact employees. Whether the employees face insomnia or contentment, well-designed, appropriate lighting does far more than meets the eye. In addition to confronting simple health and safety issues, they also positively influence office worker satisfaction and subsequent productivity. Consequently, ascertaining and employing suitable lighting fixtures are imperative for boosting worker productivity.
Types of Fixtures for Office Lighting
Recessed Lighting
If you desire to provide a substantial amount of uniform and even overhead lighting throughout your workspace without resorting to large fixtures that make a significant design statement, consider the LED recessed illuminants. As the name suggests, these fixtures encompass recessed bulbs deep-set into the ceiling. Hence, they are highly preferred since they neither suspend from the ceiling nor take up much room.
The three main applications of LED recessed lights for office lighting include:
- Provision of luminance throughout the entire room.
- Spotlighting or highlighting architectural details, pieces, or features, for instance, a painting or sculpture.
- Wall wash lighting creates a dramatic effect.
Flat Panel Light Fixtures
‘Functional lighting’ is crucial for executing tasks in workspaces, unlike ‘mood lighting,’ which is mainly meant for creating an atmosphere or vibe within a living space. For that reason, we recommend LED panels with a high color temperature that produces a cold white light, thereby improving visibility. In contrast, there is no need for similar visibility for a desk job. Hence, you can opt for a warmer tone of white light to generate a more pleasant and comfortable atmosphere in the office space. For example, the Lepro 5000K LED panel light is a great choice for ambient lighting purposes within your workspace. 2X2 and 2X4 flat panel lights are available for choice.
Flush Mount Office Ceiling Lights
Flush mount ceiling lights are the primary sources of general and task lighting furnished in workspaces with a ceiling height of 9 feet or less. Illumination is a critical element of the workspace design that may either make or break an employee’s work experience and, in this manner, enhance or jeopardize job performance and overall productivity. Office lighting should advocate visual performance and satisfy human needs apart from offering paramount visibility. Thoughtful lighting must address the public demand for a pleasant environment, where they can solely focus on work, keeping performance at optimum levels, creating an inviting atmosphere that boosts collaboration and communication, and a nourishing ambiance that contributes to an employee’s health and well-being. Office ceiling lights are the clutch performer that assists in fulfilling arduous obligations.
Desk Lamps for Office
Traditional desk lamps are ideal for those searching for lanterns for their home offices or individual workspaces. They are specially designed to render targeted light and come in a wide assortment of styles that make it easy to complement and customize your decorating plans and preferences, lighting and color schemes, and the aesthetic feel and decor of your company. They usually serve best as supplemental illumination sources. As a result, the desk lamps should probably not be your only light emitter.
Office Track Lighting
Track lighting is an overhead lighting solution that is slightly more stylish than the conventional recessed or fluorescent lamps. This fixture encompasses a track or a bar that mounts several bulbs deployed over it. This solution is ideal for offices that want to make a minimalist, contemporary, or industrial style and statement. Gross Electric has been providing track lighting solutions to offices.
