Calm light without glare, enough lux on the desk and controls that respond to daylight and presence. We design office lighting according to EN 12464-1 and supply and install the complete system.
Luminaires with a UGR below 19 and good light distribution prevent glare and headaches.
LED with presence detection and daylight control often saves 50 to 70 percent compared with fluorescent lighting in practice.
A calculation of lux, uniformity and UGR per room, with a luminaire schedule for your budget.
Too little light makes people tired, too much or badly aimed light causes glare. Good office lighting gives enough light on the desk, a calm image on the screen and a pleasant brightness throughout the room.
Controls make it even better: lights dim when there is enough daylight and switch off in empty rooms. That saves energy and extends the lifetime.
Panels or linear lights with low glare and daylight control per zone.
Dimmable pendants and scenes for presenting, meetings and video calls.
Pendants and accent lighting for a representative look.
Functional light with presence detection and emergency lighting.

Values according to EN 12464-1 (Em = average illuminance on the task area). The lighting plan determines the final values for your situation.
Lights are only on where people are. In corridors, toilets and meeting rooms, this is often the quickest saving.
Luminaires along the facade dim automatically when enough daylight comes in. The workspace stays at the right level.
An open standard: every luminaire can be controlled and monitored individually. Useful if the layout changes later on.
Wireless control via Bluetooth. Ideal for renovations, as no extra control cabling is needed.
Presenting, discussing or video calling: one button sets the right light, with no reflections on the screen.
Colour temperature and light intensity follow the course of the day. Fresher light in the morning, warmer light towards the end of the afternoon.
Energy saving obligation. In the Netherlands, if your organisation uses 50,000 kWh of electricity or 25,000 m³ of natural gas (equivalent) or more per year per site, you must take measures that pay for themselves within five years. For offices, LED lighting and lighting control are on the Recognised Measures List (Erkende Maatregelenlijst).
Energy label C. Since 1 January 2023, offices in the Netherlands larger than 100 m² must have at least energy label C. Efficient lighting counts towards the building's energy performance. How much it contributes varies by building; an energy consultant can confirm this.
Tax benefit. Energy-efficient lighting often qualifies for the Dutch Energy Investment Allowance (EIA). In our quotation we indicate which components are on the Energy List.
Complete luminaires instead of loose tubes. Converting fluorescent fittings to LED tubes seems cheap, but the light distribution and glare stay the same and CE responsibility shifts to whoever does the conversion. That is why we usually recommend a new luminaire that fits the existing ceiling.
Flicker-free. We choose drivers that are flicker-free, even when dimmed. This prevents tired eyes and distracting stripes in video calls.
You send a floor plan or photos. We determine the starting point: standards, light levels and savings.
