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.

Office building entrance

A company is represented by the entrance area to its company building. Here, glare-free light should be used to clearly illuminate the way to the entrance door and at the same time to ensure good face recognition in the door area. On-ground luminaires are used to illuminate the path to the building; their light reaches far into the surface of the path, but without glare. Unshielded wall luminaires...
