Planning examples

On the basis of our empirical values and the suggestions of architects and planners, we have compiled room situations for which lighting design is frequently required. In the following, we shall present possible illumination solutions for these architectural situations. It goes without saying that all technical lighting standards are complied with. In some cases, the degree of illuminance proposed by us may even exceed the standard. For us, the aesthetics of light and a high level of visual comfort are important criteria for such decisions. At the same time, the form and the size of the luminaires must fit into the architectural surroundings. For example, we often recommend larger models if a structure has large dimensions – even if smaller luminaires with lower output would be enough. In such cases, the degree of illuminance can be reduced to a suitable level by means of a light control system.

Shopping mall

The general illumination of the shopping mall is effected by downlights from a height of 12 m. The light is uniform and glare-free. The main area of the mall measures 28 x 65 m. The surrounding galleries are illuminated by recessed ceiling luminaires. Additional light falls into the room from the adjacent shop windows. Individually adjustable compact floodlights on the borders of the galleries...
