In spite of their ability for high lumen outputs,
thanks to the power of technology, LED bulbs
run at low wattage levels. The downside
is that they are more expensive than their
counterparts, meaning you’ll have to invest a
little bit upfront in order to place them across
the entire office space.
The good news is that you won’t have to
replace these too often, and they’ll reduce the
amount of strain on your eyes in the office. As
well as this, they come in a variety of shapes
and sizes, giving you the freedom to design
a practical lighting setup, while sticking to the
decor theme.
PICK PLACEMENTS THAT MAXIMISE
NATURAL LIGHT
Once you’ve decided on the best bulb type(s)
for the team, it’s time to decide where these
should be positioned, based on the office
layout. Always start with the areas that feature

the most natural sunlight first.
From there, think about the placements
that will enhance this natural light. Correct
placement primarily involves taking the actual
light fixtures into account but also extends to
the desks and other furniture in the space too.
Well-positioned light fixtures
An easy tell that lighting has been correctly
positioned is that it goes unnoticed by anyone
entering the space. The team should feel calm
and relaxed when they start their workday,
preferably without having to squint or cover
their eyes when they move from one room to
the next.
Try to localise your light source as much as
possible across the entire office. Consider the
function of the lighting before you decide on
the final position. Talk to us about this when
