Eurolight
Overview
Good office lighting should provide a simple and bright environment to meet the needs of employees for work, communication, thinking, meetings, etc., and also maintain the unity and comfort between areas to improve the work efficiency of employees. At the same time, it can also spread a good image to visitors through the office space. What is more, in Nigeria, we need to consider local culture to match the LED lights as well. Today we will analyze the design for office lighting in Nigeria.
Office lighting requirements
Good office lighting is more than just about illumination; it should meet a variety of different needs. We offer a wide range of office lighting concepts, from suspended to recessed and ceiling-mounted, to best meet our clients’ decorative and functional needs.
Today, the increasing independence of employees’ workspaces and the impact of their communication styles directly influence the type of office space structure. Unit workspaces encourage focused attention and concentration, while integrated workspaces facilitate communication and facilitate centralized work. Therefore, lighting solutions vary depending on the application.
To this end, we offer a full range of office lighting concepts to meet diverse needs. Each lighting concept integrates functionality, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetics.
In addition to considering the color temperature and color rendering of the light source, office lighting must also consider average illumination, comfort, uniformity, and safety. Furthermore, the cost of the entire lighting system should be considered.
Key lighting areas
1. Front desk
The front desk (reception), as the company’s showcase, not only showcases its strength but also highlights its cultural heritage. Therefore, a lighting approach should be tailored to the company’s overall positioning and decorative characteristics. High overall brightness is required, so metal halide downlights can be used as the primary lighting, while flip-up spotlights or track spotlights can be used to accentuate the background image wall, effectively highlighting the company’s image and strength.
2. Public Office
As the largest area within the office, the public office houses various functional departments, encompassing a wide range of office activities, including computer operation, writing, phone conversations, thinking, work exchanges, and meetings. Lighting should be designed based on these office activities, with uniformity and comfort as the design principles. Typically, uniform lighting spacing is employed, with appropriate lighting fixtures used for floor-level functional areas. Grid light panels are used in the workbench area to ensure uniform lighting and reduce glare. Energy-saving downlights are used in the corridors of the collective office to provide additional light.
3. Public passage (corridor)
As a public area connecting various departments, public passages do not have high lighting requirements. They only need to meet functional lighting requirements. Generally, hidden lamps or energy-saving downlights are used according to the structure and height of the passage ceiling.
4. Single Office
Single offices are typically used by department managers for a variety of tasks, including regular work and meetings, as well as small training sessions and conferences. Lighting should prioritize functionality while also integrating with the space’s decor to enhance the atmosphere. Workstations typically utilize diffused grid light panels or anti-glare downlights. Anti-glare ceiling spotlights can also be used to enhance wall lighting, improving comfort and creating a superior office environment.
5. Reception Room
As a venue for meeting with partners and clients, the reception room should create a comfortable, relaxing, cozy, and friendly atmosphere. To highlight the friendly expressions of the negotiators, use downlights with good color rendering and a soft brightness. Also, to emphasize the corporate culture or posters on the facade, use angle-adjustable spotlights to enhance the brightness of the wall.
6. Meeting Room
The conference room is the place where the company makes important decisions and meetings, including meetings, training, negotiations, video viewing, and receptions. The lighting should be adapted to different purposes and combined with intelligent control for simple switching or mode selection to meet the lighting requirements of different functional scenes. Regardless of the length of the meeting or the number of participants, whether it is a one-way reporting meeting in a large conference hall or a round-table communication meeting in a small or medium-sized conference room, the purpose of conference room lighting is to stimulate the imagination of participants and encourage them to communicate with each other. At the same time, the communication of participants’ facial expressions is also the most important task in conference room lighting. Lighting should avoid inappropriate shadows and light and dark contrasts. Spotlights can be used to wash the wall facades to provide interesting ambient light for the monotonous long-term meeting environment. Combined with the ceiling decoration structure, suspended lamps or hidden lamps can be used to form light strips. In order to enhance the light and shadow effects in small conference rooms and avoid the sense of oppression brought by the small space, indirect lighting fixtures that can emit light from both top and bottom can be used to evenly illuminate the ceiling and walls.
