Finding the right task lighting

Learn what really matters when choosing your workplace lighting. The right lighting at the workplace plays a crucial role when it comes to creating a productive and pleasant working atmosphere.

The type of lighting not only influences the mood of your employees, but can also have a direct impact on their creativity and concentration. As an experienced provider of conference room and media technology, ComPeri can help you set up your meeting room – including, of course, the appropriate workplace lighting

The importance of correct workplace lighting

The right workplace lighting is crucial as it has far-reaching effects on the productivity, the concentration and the well-being of all those present. The attention of participants in a meeting is maintained by high-quality video conferencing technology and presentation technology as well as the right lighting.

Natural light is considered ideal because it supports the natural rhythm of us humans. In rooms where this option is not available to a sufficient extent, a careful selection of alternative, artificial light sources must therefore be made. A mixture of direct and indirect light can prevent glare and at the same time provide uniform workplace lighting that minimizes eye strain.

The color temperature of the light also plays an enormously important role: cold light can be perceived as uncomfortable, while lighting that is too warm can promote fatigue. Another important aspect of good workplace lighting is its adaptability. The ability to adjust the light intensity according to the time of day or the respective needs allows greater freedom of action based on the individual needs of your employees.

Different options for workplace lighting

When choosing your workplace lighting, you can take various criteria into account, such as the positioning or type of light source. We have summarized the most important criteria for you:

Light source	Positioning	Light distribution	Advantages	Disadvantages
Ceiling lighting	Fixed to the ceiling	Even illumination of the entire room; partitioning also possible in the room	Wide, uniform light distribution; no additional light sources required in the room	Can cause glare; less flexible
Lamp holders	Freestanding on the floor	Directed or diffuse light	Flexibility, allows light sources to be adapted to individual needs; sets accents	Taking up space; cables as potential tripping hazards
Table lamps	On tables or desks	Focused light on specific areas	Targeted lighting; ideal for individual workstations	Limited range; require space on work surfaces
Wall lights	Mounted on the walls	Indirect or directional light	Can visually enlarge rooms and create a pleasant atmosphere	Fixed installation, little flexibility
Spot lighting	Fixed to ceilings or walls	Very focused light	Ideal for drawing attention to specific areas, for example during presentations	Creates strong contrasts; not suitable for general room illumination

Video conferencing: optimal light for conferences and presentations

Video conferences have established themselves as an essential part of the modern working world and the right lighting also plays a crucial role here. Finding the optimum light for conferences and presentations means creating a balance between sufficient brightness and avoiding glare or harsh shadows.

For video conferences, a diffuse light source - i.e. a flat light distribution - that illuminates the face evenly is ideal. Position the main light source behind the camera so that the light falls directly on the face and avoid strong background lighting to prevent silhouette effects. Overall, the light should be arranged in such a way that it does not distract the eyes and maintains concentration over long periods of time.
