How to Design the Right Office Lighting
In addition to considering office feng shui, office feng shui taboos, office feng shui layout, and office feng shui seating, we also need to consider office lighting design. Office space can be said to be a complex spatial cluster, a collection that conveys multiple information. It usually contains reception and corporate image performance areas, open office areas, separate executive offices, passageways and corridors, meeting rooms and informal discussion areas. Some large enterprises also have their own galleries, exhibition areas, staff restaurants and lounges. For the office design of different types of companies, in addition to the comprehensive consideration of space processing, color and texture and other material performance, it is also necessary to add good office lighting design. Light plays an extremely important role in the performance of these design languages.
We will explain the three places to consider when designing office lighting from three levels:
The main points of the first office lighting design
(1) Use a light source of about 6200K to give evenly distributed ambient light of 300-500lx (overall lighting). On each work surface, it is recommended to use a light source of about 4000K to give key lighting of a work surface above 800lx.
(2) The glare index (UGR), one of the main indicators affecting vision and visual health, should be controlled within 22, and the color rendering index should also be above 80.
(3) Other spaces should be bright where they should be bright, and dark where they should be dark, instead of averaging, flattening. Note that in meeting rooms, informal discussion areas, reception rooms and other areas, use warm light sources (about 2800-3300K) to create a friendly atmosphere and make interpersonal relationships harmonious.
The main points of the second office lighting design
1. When it is difficult to determine the working position, LED lamps with large luminous area and low brightness can be selected, such as LED panel lights.
2. Matte decorative materials should be used for the adjacent surfaces of the visual work and the decorative performance in the room.
3. Office hours are almost all daytime, so artificial lighting should be combined with natural lighting to form a comfortable lighting environment.
4. In office rooms with computer terminal equipment, images of people and objects (such as lamps, furniture, windows, etc.) should be avoided on the screen.
5. The general lighting of the office should be designed on both sides of the working area. When using fluorescent lamps, the longitudinal axis of the lamps should be parallel to the horizontal line of sight, and the lamps should not be arranged in front of the working position.
6. LED lamps should be used for office lighting.
7. Ideal office environment and methods to avoid light reflection.
8. The lighting design of the manager's office should consider the illumination of the desk, the illumination of the reception space and the necessary electrical equipment.
9. The lighting of the conference room should be considered as the lighting above the conference table. Creates a sense of center and concentration. The illumination should be appropriate, and auxiliary lighting should be added around.
10. For the lighting of the stage area of the auditorium, which is mainly used for assembly, the ceiling light can be used together with the auxiliary lighting installed in front of the stage, and the average vertical illuminance shall not be less than 300LX.
The third big mistake
Lighting is undoubtedly the magician of space design. With the improvement of people's life quality, the office lighting design has been paid more and more attention. In addition to meeting the general lighting needs, the main task of office lighting design is to create a warm atmosphere in the family, so the correct selection of lamps is particularly important. However, because ordinary people have very limited understanding of lamps, they often use them blindly, resulting in many misunderstandings in use.
misuse one
Many people blindly use spotlights (ie halogen tungsten bulbs). Spotlights were originally used for accent lighting to emphasize displays, but now they are used for general lighting instead. The spotlights on the ceiling make the ceiling too eye-catching, but the lighting effect on other objects is relatively weakened, and the lighting range of the space is limited.
misuse two
In order to save money, many people choose traditional fluorescent lamps for lighting, ignoring that traditional fluorescent lamps are prone to light decay and frequent maintenance during use.
misuse three
Many people prefer crystal lamps, thinking that it is a symbol of style, but they have not noticed that the ceiling height of houses in Europe and the United States is at least 3.5 meters or more, while the ceiling height of domestic houses is generally less than 3 meters. Therefore, if you blindly use crystal lamps without considering the national conditions, you will not only fail to show the graceful style of crystal lamps, but will cause a sense of oppression.
