OFFICE LIGHTING. LIGHT AND TRANSPARENT PARTITIONS

Office lighting is one of the most important aspects when designing a workspace. Interior designers often spend time and effort to create a system that combines brightness with efficiency.

It is clear that making the most of natural light is essential when designing the installation. However, it is also important to get the artificial light right. In addition, the amount of space available, the height of the office and the shape and colour of the office furniture must also be taken into account.

All these factors have a direct influence on the realisation of the lighting project. At DESMON we are experts in office furniture and the fitting out of workspaces. We have been carrying out projects that include pieces of furniture and distribution of installations for years. With this post we want to give you the keys to get the right office lighting. It is not just a matter of placing fluorescent lights and turning them on, you have to pay attention to more factors. Let’s get down to business.

Office lighting has a direct impact on the performance of employees. It also serves to enhance the company’s image of itself and its products. For all these reasons, it is important to get the lighting right and to illuminate the different areas appropriately. It is also important to combine this light with the right office furniture to create comfortable, spacious and functional spaces.

In an office there are areas with different uses and needs. There are areas with desks, meeting rooms, corridors, rest areas and reception areas. Each area must have the right lighting.

• Natural light. It is important to take advantage of natural light as much as possible. You should be able to filter it with blinds or shades and prevent it from falling directly on computer screens.
• General light. It should be present throughout the office. Lights can be placed on the ceiling or on the wall. This avoids shadows and unpleasant contrasts.
• Focal light. This is the light that is placed in spaces close to the desk. It is usual to have the classic flexos.
• Decorative light. Decorative light is usually found in reception or rest areas. It has a soft tone and creates a warm and pleasant atmosphere. In this case, we are talking about floor lamps or linear lamps.

Una vez hayamos decidido qué tipo de luminarias son las adecuadas, llega el momento de la instalación. Para ello, lo ideal es contar con un techo registrable que permita ocultar todas el cableado de la instalación y las lámparas.

Sin duda, es la mejor apuesta para conseguir una iluminación de oficinas bien colocada. La lámparas LED se pueden colocar en el techo con total seguridad. Además, en el caso de avería, será suficiente con elevar la loseta correspondiente y cambiar la lámpara.

En DESMON recomendamos sin reservas el techo registrable para alojar todas las instalaciones de luces y también de distribución de agua, datos e incluso de gas. Todo queda oculto y completamente accesible.

Finally, we would like to focus on how to increase the amount of light in the office. Whether it is natural or artificial light, it is important to make the most of all the light flow and not prevent its transmission throughout the workspace. This may seem complicated at first glance, but it can be simplified by installing transparent partitions in the office.

The screens make it possible to delimit workspaces and create rooms. However, they do not block the passage of light thanks to their total transparency. Light transmission is ensured and so is energy efficiency.

Of course, transparent partitions will enhance brightness and create a very interesting effect of spaciousness. Thanks to the glass walls, there are no dark areas or shadowy corners. In addition, visual contact between workers is continuous and communication between different teams is much easier.

At DESMON we have combined the design, manufacture and assembly of transparent partitions with optimal lighting projects. We always opt for light or neutral coloured furniture to multiply even more the sensation of complete illumination. In addition, we offer you the installation of false ceilings and office flooring to complete the modern and up-to-date image of your company.
