Light can be used to create different moods, calmness, safety, making work more efficient and supporting the circadian rhythm. When designing lighting, there are a lot of things to consider, such as the availability of natural light. There is a lot of dark time in Finland when we have to rely entirely on artificial light. The height of the room also affects the design of the lighting, and, for example, the color temperature of the light has a great influence. It is also necessary to consider what kind of visual appearance is sought with lighting.

The designs use, for example, the three-layer technology of the lighting design. The right light source is designed for each space to the correct extent. This will make the lighting a perfect package suitable for different spaces and situations. The main feature of light is its invisibility. Lighting design solves how light would hit the right places for living and working.

Lighting solutions are always part of the object's electrical system

In planning, it is especially important to understand the whole all the way to implementation. What makes sense to implement and how. In addition, the economic aspect must be taken into account, i.e. how much energy the lighting consumes and what kind of lighting is required where. Energy consumption can be reduced by implementing control intelligently, including, for example, various sensors and time programs. For daylight recognition, the lighting takes into account the amount of daylight, and produces only the required amount of light. With motion detection, the lights come on when detecting movement or presence, creating an atmosphere. Dimming the lighting and adjusting the color of the light makes the lighting support the daily rhythm, for example. Healthy lighting requires not only human-centered lighting (HCL), but also balanced, glare-free and flicker-free lighting.

How do I start lighting design?

Lighting design begins by mapping the spaces to be illuminated and the use needs of the site. Initial assessment is one of the most important aspects of lighting design, it can be used to create lighting that suits your needs and supports your business.
