LIGHT PLANNINGLight Planning and Light Measurement
Together with our partners, we record your requirements on site, analyse these with a view to energy efficiency and lighting quality, thereby defining lighting concepts whose implementation guarantees the right solution for high cost efficiency and motivation.

- Avoiding glare
- Arrangement of the workplace
- Monitor placement
- Direct / Indirect illumination
- Lighting zones
- Workplace illumination
- Illumination as a design element
Parameters for Lighting Planning
Illumination level
The level of illumination is very important for visual perception. Higher illumination intensities increase performance and reduce error rates and the risk of accidents.
Harmonious distribution of brightness
The distribution of lighting intensity within a space should be neither too varied nor too uniform. Contrasts that are too extreme can lead to visual distractions, and overly uniform lighting intensities can make a room monotonous and unattractive.
Glare
Direct or indirect glare significantly disrupts visual perception. The work area should be optimally illuminated with a bright yet glare-free light. The top priorities are utility and light quality, which contribute to an increase in comfort, well-being, and the ability to concentrate. Individual adjustability leads to performance optimisation and influences metabolic processes.
Light direction and shadows
Is achieved with a balanced relationship between diffuse and focused illumination; both harsh shadows and the absence of shadows impede vision.
Lighting colour and colour reproduction
Provide information about the lighting attributes of lamps. The light colour is divided into three groups on the basis of spectral composition: warm white (1), neutral white (2) and daylight white (3). The colour reproduction index describes how naturally the colours in the environment are reproduced by the light of a lamp. The same colours look different in light with different colour reproduction characteristics.
