The importance of lighting in workplace design is paramount, with effective lighting being a vital part of good working conditions–but regulation lighting can also play a part in great workplace design. Here are some office lighting ideas to help inspire your redesign whilst maintaining good practice.
Why is correct lighting important?
Using lighting that abides by UK Building Regulations will help reduce your company’s carbon footprint, whilst also prioritising the wellbeing of your colleagues and employees.
This is because it utilises Human Centric Lighting (or HCL,) which supports the human requirements from lighting in order to aid their safety, well-being and comfort in indoor spaces.
This is vital for maintaining a safe and comfortable working environment whilst increasing productivity and enthusiasm levels for your employees.
So, how can this be implemented? Here are some inspiring lighting ideas to consider in your office redesign:
Circadian Lighting
If your workplace isn’t one with large windows and access to lots of natural light, circadian lighting is a great method for integrating HCL.
This mimics natural daylight by gradually increasing and decreasing throughout the cycle of the day–encouraging multiple benefits such as faster cognitive processing, reduced hyperactivity and a reduction in errors and accidents.
At
Glenside, we can provide circadian lighting options in order to help you achieve these results–helping natural light become more accessible for your employees.
LED Lighting
This option is available in many forms and colours, making it as versatile as it is energy efficient. LED lighting also lasts up to 20 times longer than standard forms of lighting, providing a more costly alternative.
Specialist feature LEDs have proven popular with many of our clients, who find them to make a bold statement which sets their workplace apart from others in their sectors.
Statement Lighting Fixtures
These are widely popular as an eye-catching focal point of any office, which communicates a brand’s personality whilst reinforcing the atmosphere created by the interiors.
By their nature, fixtures like these which draw the eye are also very easy to look at–minimising the possibility of being too bright or overwhelming employees and colleagues. This makes them a great choice for many workplaces, as they’re both inviting and gentle to work beneath.
We have many of these interesting feature lights at our showroom, which you can browse
