Let the Sunshine In

If your commercial office has large windows, allow the sun to fill spaces with excellent natural light. This type of light encourages worker productivity and is an environmentally friendly choice. 

Sometimes, however, the sun is not a reliable source of light. For instance, the sun's rays may not be enough to rely on during a storm or a cloudy day. Daylight sensors are an excellent option for adjusting lighting control to maximize efficiency. With a sensor, office lighting will dim when ample natural light is available, and lights will brighten when the sun moves behind a cloud. This flexibility will allow employees to get the most benefit from the natural sunlight.

Are you concerned with the sun's glare or overheating spaces? Automated shading is a great way to allow flexibility throughout the day and provide employees with the best of both worlds—natural light during part of the day and glare protection when required.

Tune Light Colors

Brightness levels are not the only part of lighting that can impact employee wellness. Light color can also affect mood, focus, and productivity. For example, cooler colors like whites and blues can improve focus and alertness during the day, while warmer colors like oranges and yellows can promote relaxation. 

Consider cooler temperatures in working areas while utilizing warmer temperatures in break rooms and conference rooms. Our team of commercial lighting experts can help you design a lighting strategy that makes the best use of automated color tuning throughout the workday.

Save Money

Upgrading commercial lighting systems will no doubt benefit employees, but it will also benefit business owners. Replacing old fluorescent lighting fixtures with more energy-efficient LED options will reduce energy use and lower utility bills. Additionally, if LED bulbs are used with a dimming strategy, you can save additional money. Throw in occupancy sensors to turn office lights on and off when not in use, and you'll be amazed at the savings, not to mention the satisfaction of using these eco-friendly options.
