Office Space Lighting
Lighting your office efficiently and effectively makes business sense. The office environment has a significant impact on an individual’s performance at work in a variety of ways. One of the most influential factors in the office environment is lighting.

Illumination Levels
The average illumination level required for a work space with computers should be at least 500 lux. As the visual task becomes more intricate, the illumination level should be enhanced. Consider creating a contrast between different areas of the office. Those spaces not utilized as workstations, such as walkways, could have a lower level of lighting. Both natural daylight and artificial light play an important role in creating a healthier and more productive workplace. Different activities require different types and levels of light. While task lighting tends to be a given the most thought in modern office spaces.

Colour
The colour rendering index (CRI) and colour temperature both play a major role in ensuring worker’s comfort level in the work place. A colour rendering index greater than 70 (on a scale from 0 to 100) is recommended for office building lighting.

Lighting position
Also an important consideration, as light should not reflect directly into the eyes from surfaces or screens. Rather than uniformly illuminating an office environment, throwing light on to walls and ceilings will make the space seem larger and brighter.
