For you to be productive
and efficient and to perform to the best of your capabilities at work, you have
to feel at ease with your surroundings. Good light quality is essential for your
general well being. You have a lot to gain, both when it comes to well being,
flexibility and productivity as well as economically and environmentally, if you
choose the right lighting solution.
We cooperate with architects and
lighting designers to create outstanding lighting solutions for many different
areas and types of buildings, and much emphasis is placed on values such as
design, quality, ergonomics, safety, lighting technology and concern for the
environment.
In today's offices we change places and tasks, and we often
refurnish. Therefore, a flexible lighting solution is essential. We consider a
combination of good general lighting and individually adjustable task lighting
to be the optimal solution.
General Lighting
A
solution of indirect lighting that uses the whole ceiling or walls as reflector
gives good lighting in the entire room, no matter how you furnish. There are
also good solutions of ceiling mounted light fittings that provide both indirect
lighting and common downwards directed lighting. But, both solutions should
always be supplemented with a task light at each workstation in order to create
the correct luminance and lux levels.
Task
Lighting
Each person is unique and requires a lighting solution
adapted to his or her situation:
o Visual ability and age
o Tasks to
be performed
o Office space, layout and colours
o Size of the
desk
o Daylight conditions
Contrast
An overall
objective is to obtain correct contrast conditions in the room. Ideally, the
light (lux level) should be in the relationship 5:3:1, which means:
5 =
strongest in the primary work area (the keyboard, the manuscript or the centre
of the desk)
3 = weaker in the rest of the work area
1 = weakest in the
remainder of the room
A good lighting solution shall provide an even,
comfortable light level and good contrast conditions in the room, and must be
adjustable so that illumination can be brought to the task at hand. A task light
must produce the type of light and amount of light appropriate to a person’s
needs and work situation. Luxo is committed to all these varied conditions. The
optimal Luxo lighting solution will make your work less tiring and life more
productive.
