Rooms

The requirements follow the space, not the business. Here are the room types with target values for light level, glare and colour rendering, and the products that meet them.

Car park

Security more than visibility. Uniformity and light on faces decide how it feels, not the average level.

Warehouse & logistics

High ceilings, long aisles and long operating hours. Here, presence control per aisle is not a feature but the entire business case.

Hotel room

The guest has to understand the controls in ten seconds, in the dark, after a flight. Everything else is secondary.

Restaurant & dining

The dining room has no prescribed level, the kitchen does. Two spaces in the same venue with directly opposing requirements.

Retail floor

General lighting is the base, accent lighting is the sale. The contrast between them matters more to the display than the number of lux.

Patient room

The same set of luminaires has to handle reading light, examination and night rounds. The range is 5 to 1000 lux in a single room.

Changing room

A damp environment, hard use and nobody who remembers to switch off. IP rating and presence control are the entire requirement list.

Sports hall

Training, matches and cleaning draw completely different power. The difference between the levels shows up straight away on the electricity bill.

Classroom

Teaching, exams, group work and video in the same room. The teacher has to switch mode from the wall, without going through facilities.

Stairwell & lift

The one space where the wrong light is a safety issue. The steps need enough shadow to be visible, and the level must never drop to zero.

Entrance & reception

The first impression, and the eye's transition between outside and inside. The level needs to follow the daylight outside the door, not a fixed schedule.

Open-plan office

Many workstations, a single ceiling installation and constant rearranging. Zoning has to be changed in the app, not in the distribution board.

Meeting room

One room, three modes: meeting, presentation and video call. The difference between them is the whole point of scene control.

Corridor

The space that is in use around the clock but occupied in bursts. Presence control is the difference between constant full output and light only when someone passes.
