Office Lighting – The Essential Tips and Tricks



Good lighting is a critical component in workplace design, affecting the wellness and productivity of your employees and preventing headaches, eyestrain, fatigue and even depression. Here are some tips from our team on how to perfectly light your office.

  • Optimize your natural lighting: Sunlight is easy on our eyes, supports our natural rhythms, and it’s free, so it’s a great starting point for this component of your office remodel. See where you have the best natural light and how you can use it to its full benefit, creating an inviting reception area or positioning a high-density workstation in that area. You can also increase natural light penetration into your office space by installing architectural office walls made of glass.
  • Say goodbye to fluorescent lighting:These are the bane of many office spaces, and not just because of the harsh quality light they produce. Studies have linked fluorescent lighting to melatonin and cortisol suppression, as well as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and the flicker they produce is a direct cause of stress, migraines, anxiety, eyestrain. Instead, choose LED lights. These bulbs don’t flicker, more closely mimic natural lighting and are more energy-efficient, saving you money in the long-term.
  • Balance task and ambient lighting:Ambient lighting is your general, overhead office lighting and should mimic natural lighting as closely as possible to create a comfortable, welcoming and productive space. Overhead lighting is best utilized by choosing lensed indirect lighting rather than direct parabolic lighting. Task lighting should be added in specific areas where brighter lighting is needed and should be switched on and off as required. Dimmer switches are a good idea too, allowing employees to better customize lighting, reduce glare, and create the right lighting for specific needs, like presentations.
