Getting the lighting right during a fit-out is essential, consider factors such as functionality, aesthetics, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Here are some practical lighting solutions for various areas within a commercial fit-out:
Lighting Design and Layout:
During the planning and designing stage of your re-fit, together we will develop a lighting plan that considers the specific needs and functions of each area. Balancing functional requirements with aesthetic considerations, creating a well-lit and visually appealing environment that enhances productivity and comfort for you and your colleagues.
Smart Lighting Controls:
Incorporate occupancy sensors to automatically turn lights on or off based on occupancy detection. Occupancy sensors, also known as motion sensors or motion detectors, are devices that detect the presence or absence of people within a space, helping to conserve energy. They work by sensing changes in infrared radiation or ultrasonic waves caused by movement.
Occupancy sensors are commonly used in lighting and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems to optimise energy efficiency to improve comfort and enhance safety.
Daylight Harvesting Controls:
Use daylight sensors to adjust artificial lighting levels based on natural daylight availability. These controls optimise energy savings by dimming or switching off lights when sufficient natural light is present.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability:
Prioritise energy-efficient lighting solutions such as LED fixtures, which offer significant energy savings and lower maintenance costs over time.
Incorporate lighting controls and automation features to further optimise energy usage and reduce environmental impact.
General Illumination:
Install LED panel lights for general overhead illumination as LED panels offer energy efficiency, uniform light distribution, and long lifespan.
Use linear LED fixtures for continuous lighting along corridors, aisles, or open office spaces. These fixtures provide even illumination and can be customised to fit the layout of the space.
For spaces with high ceilings; such as warehouses or industrial areas, use high bay LED lights because High bay LED lights offer efficient and high-output lighting solutions.
Accent Lighting:
Install track lighting systems to highlight architectural features, artwork, or merchandise displays.
Track lights offer flexibility in directing light precisely where needed and can be adjusted to change focus as required.
Use wall sconces to create ambient lighting and add visual interest to corridors, lobbies, or lounge areas. Wall sconces come in various styles and designs to complement the overall aesthetic of the space.
Overall, wall sconces are versatile lighting fixtures that provide both functional illumination and aesthetic enhancement to interior and exterior spaces. They offer flexibility in design, mounting options, and light distribution, making them popular choices for residential and commercial lighting applications.
