 - Finding the right task 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:

walls

Very focused light

specific areas,

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.
