A guide to setting up the best lighting in your office to maximise productivity.
Who says that office performance is solely based on a person’s work ethics? Research would probably show that other than the individual’s motivation to work and capacity to handle pressure, work performance can also be influenced by the individual’s work environment. It can be the office space, it can be the wall colours or it can even be the lighting fixtures. Yes, you read right, lighting fixtures. If lighting is poor, studies show that it can have adverse influence on the workers’ moods. Sometimes it may create unhappy sentiments and worse, even increase the likelihood of workers experiencing depression. So if you’re thinking of renovating your lights, call on your best electrician and have him modify that architecture factor. Take a look at these few options and the reasons why they can be good lighting fixtures (or not) for your office space.
Ceiling lighting.
When considering overhead lighting, make sure that these sources are not just the plain fluorescent light bulbs that flicker every now and then above the employees. Such kind would usually create a strobe effect in the work place and would contribute to headaches and migraines, thus lessening the productivity of the workers. A good choice then can possibly be suspended or ceiling attached lights that are energy savers and have dimmable controls. This way, the strobe effect can at least be controlled through dimming if not completely avoided.
Table and floor lamps.
These lamps do not just provide aesthetic look in an office area but are also a good source of concentrated lighting should the employees need clear visibility in the workplace. Technically then, they can be considered as art works that serve some certain functions. Floor lamps and table lamps are also convenient because they can transform the looks of the office without altering the walls and other parts. A better option too for these lamps is to have them adjustable at different angles, that way, the employees can always use them to their preference.
Track lights.
By definition, track lights are those that are mounted on metal tracks that are movable and electrified. They are actually adjustable lamps too that run on parallel electric circuits. A good thing with track lights is that they can individually be adjusted, thus one lamp can focus on one area and another would be directed towards another area and yet others on other parts too. Thus, there is no need to have several floor lamps or table lamps for the different work zones, rather, everything else comes from the single metal track on which the lamps are attached. Its effect on workers is similar to the effects that floor and table lamps can give to employees.
Natural lighting.
If your office however has good sized picture windows that can allow the sun in during daytime and are not covered by too tall buildings, then it might be good to have natural lighting for your work environment.Natural lighting, plus the idea that the windows overlook a green environment can contribute to the wellness of the workers. This is because they get to exchange energies with the environment, lifting up the pressures of work at the end of the day. Of course, artificial lighting may still be needed because there won’t be sunlight coming in during evenings then.
The four lighting choices are the best options to up your employee performance. You can choose whatever you deem fitting to your workplace. On the other hand, if you have the budget for these renovations you can simply tell your electrician not to choose just one option but to incorporate all.
