Office Lighting

Productive workspaces start with the right light. Reduce glare, support wellbeing, and meet compliance standards with specification-grade office lighting.

Office lighting directly affects productivity, wellbeing, and energy costs. The EN 12464-1 standard sets minimum lux levels for different task areas, but good office design goes further. Low UGR (Unified Glare Rating) prevents screen glare. Tunable white supports circadian rhythms. Daylight integration reduces artificial lighting loads.

Modern offices demand flexibility. Open plans, meeting rooms, breakout zones, and focus pods each need different lighting treatments. DALI-controlled systems with presence detection and daylight sensing deliver the right light where and when it is needed, while cutting consumption in unoccupied areas.

EMPRICS recessed panels, linear systems, and surface-mount fittings are designed for suspended ceiling grids (600x600, 1200x300, 1200x600) and open ceiling architectures. UGR below 19 across the range. L80 B10 lifespan ratings above 50,000 hours.
