Lighting That Fosters Productivity

Best Office Lighting for Workplace Productivity

Finding the best office lighting has become a top priority for design teams and office managers. According to a research survey of 7000 office workers, 80% said having good lighting in their workspace was important. 40% reported they currently deal with uncomfortable lighting and 32% said better lighting would make them happier at work. Poor workplace lighting is associated with a range of poor health effects, both physical and mental, such as eye strain, headaches, fatigue, stress, and anxiety.

    Human-Centric Office Design

    Day to Day Workspace Illumination

    As trends push workplace and commercial environments further toward human-centric design, we've introduced more multifunctional and ergonomic luminaires.

    Workplaces can be created that are core support spaces for employees by enabling areas for solo work, collaboration, and group communication.

    Whether yours is an open office scheme or more private, the day to day workspace will always require a healthy mix of task and ambient lighting.

  • Open Office Lighting

    Open offices require a balanced approach: sufficient light for various tasks being performed at individual workspaces, lighting for circulation where people casually talk face to face, intimate areas that inspire deep thought, and more formal conference room areas appropriate for multimedia presentations. The absence of internal walls means open-plan areas will likely be lit mainly with ceiling mounted, pendants, and portable light fixtures.

    Build flexibility into your design by putting lighting controls in the hands of employees. Offices can often lack daylight in areas. Mitigate this by incorporating circadian lighting or tunable color temperature options. More importantly create a space that evokes positivity where employees feel welcome and productive.

  • Lobby Lighting

    A lobby is often the first impression someone gets when they walk into a building. Make a memorable impression with show-stopping lighting. We offer a variety of large venue luminaire styles and shapes in luminous and non-luminous forms. With the right lighting, high ceilings and big open spaces can be bright and welcoming.

    Stay traditional or get creative by installing our multi-length pendants in cluster formations. Large disk pendants, like our Sail luminaire, are stunning when arranged in groups of varying sizes. For an extra “wow” factor, certain styles offer RGB color options allowing you to create a unique sensory experience, like our Sequence pendants which can bring a colorful pop of light into a space. Or, go with stylish luminaires from our Celest family which feature acoustic felts to create meaningful noise reduction.

Lobby and Open Office Sound Mitigation

Often lobbies can get quite loud. Reverberations of human voices can become intensified when a space isn’t treated properly for sound – creating a situation where people need to speak louder to be heard by the person with whom they are talking. This only increases noise levels, leading to an unpleasant and stressful environment.

Improve building acoustics and provide ambient light with the Celest collection. This collection of geometric pendant lights combines style with large panels of acoustic material for optimal sound absorption. Learn more about Acoustic Lighting
