Lighting that enhances productivity and mood
Transform your Singapore office with strategic lighting design that goes beyond basic illumination. We layer ambient, task, and accent lighting to create visually dynamic spaces that reduce eye strain, boost energy, and enhance focus. From daylight optimization to smart controls, every lighting decision supports team performance.
Reduces energy consumption 40-60%, improves wellbeing through proper illumination, creates flexible spaces adapting to multiple Singapore office work modes.
Planning ambient, task, and accent lighting for functional and aesthetic balance.
Ambient Lighting
Design fixtures providing uniform base illumination at 300-500 lux. Specify LED panels, linear luminaires, or downlights with appropriate beam spreads and color temperatures.
Task Lighting
Provide focused illumination at 500-750 lux for work surfaces—under-cabinet lights, desk lamps, pendants over tables. Higher lux and cooler temperatures enhancing concentration.
Lighting Zones
Divide spaces into independently controlled zones based on usage and natural light. Perimeter zones with daylight harvesting, core zones with consistent lighting reducing waste.
Choosing energy-efficient, cost-effective luminaires that meet design requirements.
LED Technology
Specify energy-efficient LEDs with 50,000+ hour lifespans reducing consumption 40-60%. Evaluate efficacy, CRI >80, and driver quality for long-term performance and cost savings.
Design Aesthetics
Select fixtures balancing performance with visual appeal—minimalist recessed panels, sculptural pendants, linear systems. Coordinate finishes with interior design language.
Performance Specifications
Match luminaire output, color temperature, beam angles, and CRI to task requirements. Technical calculations ensure proper illumination, uniformity, and glare control UGR <19.
Balancing daylight with artificial light for comfort and energy efficiency.
Daylight Analysis
Study natural light patterns using simulation software. Map sunlight penetration, identify glare hotspots, and understand seasonal variations informing workspace positioning.
Glare Management
Implement automated blinds, brise-soleil, screens, or diffusing films controlling intense daylight while preserving views. Balance solar heat gain with daylight harvesting.
Daylight Harvesting
Integrate photocell sensors automatically dimming artificial lighting when sufficient natural light available. Perimeter zones respond to daylight, reducing consumption by 20-30%.
Integrating dimming or sensor systems for energy efficiency and user comfort.
Occupancy Sensors
Implement PIR or ultrasonic sensors for automatic on/off control based on occupancy. Configure delays and sensitivity reducing energy waste while avoiding nuisance shutoffs.
Circadian Lighting
Program color temperature shifts—cooler 5000K morning light promoting alertness, warmer 3000K evening tones for relaxation. Tunable white LEDs support natural rhythms.
Scene Programming
Create programmable presets for activities—presentation mode dims ambients, collaboration mode provides uniform brightness, video call mode optimizes facial lighting.
