Public spaces
In public spaces, even and glare-free lighting creates a sense of comfort, safety and well-being. Dazzling or excessive lighting can cause eye strain and headaches, which can create an unpleasant user experience.
Public spaces such as schools, libraries and hospitals often have very high lighting loads due to long opening hours and high visitor numbers. However, lighting can have an impact on the user-friendliness of a space, the customer experience and energy costs. The high number of hours of use also makes it worth investing in intelligence.
The same building can have many different spaces that can accommodate different activities. Work spaces, auditoriums and reading corners. When designing lighting, each space must be considered as a whole.
Intelligent lighting
Lighting in public spaces should support all the uses of the space. A wireless lighting control system allows for flexibility and intelligent lighting management.

Lighting can be programmed, for example, according to the clock. In the morning, the colour of the light emulates daylight, being brighter, and as the day progresses, the colour of the light starts to change to a warmer colour. In Finland, there are many dark periods when people need light to support their circadian rhythm. Luminaires can also be programmed to operate on a per-room basis or with presence-sensing sensors, so that rooms are not lit unnecessarily.
For new projects, Casambi wireless lighting control is often chosen for its cost-effectiveness, flexibility and ease of use. For renovation projects, it is chosen for its ease of installation and positioning, as well as its cost-effectiveness.
Cost is often a barrier to investment in smart lighting. However, the added benefit of smart lighting is a significant cost saving compared to traditional luminaires that burn at full power all the time. Controllable lighting quickly pays for itself.
