What to keep in mind when designing lighting?

In selecting new light sources, designers are guided by a number of considerations. Therefore, in this article, we focus on what to keep in mind when designing lighting.. The provisions found in the standards are the main, but not the only, determinant of trouble-free and functional use of a lighting system. A comprehensive approach guarantees the best results.

This article briefly discusses:

• design in accordance with valid recommendations,
• selection of lighting according to operating conditions,
• LED lamp control,
• the importance of buying luminaires from a reliable manufacturer,
• profitability of a project.

Lighting control system for increased functionality

Smart lighting is worth considering during the planning phase. It is important for user comfort, additional functionality as well as savings. Such a system can be equipped with sensors or connected to a BMS. For example, with motion sensors, the output of light sources can be automatically adjusted when activity is detected. Another solution is to use incoming light sensors. A system equipped with these is designed to keep the average illuminance on the work surface constant, but it will adjust the power of the luminaires based on the amount of sunlight entering the room.

LED lighting from a proven manufacturer

Selecting a trusted partner is also an important aspect at the design stage. A manufacturer offering different types of lighting products, such as pendant lights or recessed luminaires and control systems, will be able to offer attractive solutions. In addition, a reputable lighting company will be able to help select a system that has proven itself in facilities with similar working conditions.
