But what are the key aspects to best illuminate an office?

direct light sources, such as the typical desk lamp directed at the work area
(preferably shielded, to avoid eye strain), and
indirect light, offered by fixtures with diffused emission
(usually on the ceiling or walls).
2. Utilize the right natural light
It is quite obvious that an office with large windows exposed to sunlight all day can offer optimal comfort. Often, however, natural light is not enough! That's why it becomes essential to carefully choose artificial light sources.
3. Define the amount of light in the work area
When talking about illumination, a specific quantity of light measured in lux, it is essential to consult the reference tables suggested by regulations. Generally speaking, it is advisable to achieve at least 500 lux in workplaces.
4. Monitor the UGR
The Unified Glare Rating is the internationally recognized reference value associated with the glare of the lighting fixtures. For workplaces, the limit not to be exceeded is a UGR below 19. Only in this way will you be able to achieve a comfortable working environment, free from annoying reflections.
5. Become efficient
It's not just about work efficiency but also SAVINGS! In an office, electricity bills entail significant costs, and, for example, using LED lamps can offer considerable savings, both in money and time!
