Your lighting for the office:

Anyone who is in the office every day and works on a computer needs a well-lit workplace and a pleasant room climate.

Various lamps ensure perfect office lighting:

Ceiling lights: bright ceiling lights such as panels, spotlights and high-quality recessed lights are very suitable for a dark room. Your employees have a clear view and protect their eyes.

Natural light: If you place desks in the office by the window, you can make use of natural sunlight. This is good for body and mind and you only need the office lamps when it is dark outside. 

Lighting that does not dazzle: If bright lamps dazzle or the screen is set so brightly, the eyes are damaged. A coordinated light that does not dazzle and has a pleasant white tone is definitely an advantage for office work.

Lamps with dimmers: With dimmers for office lighting, you can adjust the light intensity at any time of day. A natural light rhythm keeps you fit and is healthy for your eyes.

 

The right lighting for the workplace:

Desk lamps: It's not just the existing ceiling lights that cast the right light on the work area, but also high-quality desk lamps. Desk lamps are available in many different versions. With an arched arm or an adjustable head, the light can be directed as required.

Indirect lighting for the office: In addition to the main lighting, you can embellish your office with indirect luminaires and give it a chic touch. At the same time, the lamps complement the existing ambient lighting and conjure up an elegant ambience.

 

Here are 3 useful tips for optimum office lighting:

Position lamps sensibly: Position the lighting at the right angle and height. This ensures that the work area is 100% illuminated without the light being uncomfortable. 

Set accents with great lighting: Plants, office furniture and empty corners can be cleverly decorated and highlighted with lamps.

Technical refinements: Dimmers, timers and smart lamps light up at the right time with the best light intensity. Take advantage of the benefits offered by modern technology!

The optimum working atmosphere is created by the right furnishings, colleagues, good working conditions and good lighting that makes it feel good. Satisfied employees are productive and you can create the best conditions with just a few fine details.

 

Lighting in the study and home office

More and more people are working from home these days. While in traditional offices, standard-compliant lighting is provided by the employer, we have the opportunity to design our own lighting when working from home. Appropriate lighting in the home office makes a decisive contribution to making our working day more pleasant and efficient and at the same time reduces the risk of eye strain. Balanced lighting in the home office also promotes motivation as well as physical and mental well-being. At BUYnBLUE you will find a large selection of high-quality home office lamps, desk lamps for the home office, ceiling lamps for the home office, floor lamps for the home office, pendant lamps for the home office, clamp lamps for the home office and many variations of wall lamps.

Home office lamps

The selection of suitable luminaires for the home office makes the lighting versatile and precisely tailored to requirements. The nature of the premises and the natural incidence of light play a decisive role here. In addition, the individual design of lighting in the home office makes it possible to match the personal furnishing style and taste, which is a great advantage, especially in this working environment.

Desk lamps for the home office

The desk lamp is an indispensable component in the home office. It ensures shadow-free light directly on the desk and provides sufficient brightness for working with documents without straining your eyes. LED desk lamps are particularly energy-efficient and popular.

Ceiling lights for the study

The ceiling light is part of the basic equipment of every study, even in the home office. LED panels in particular are a preferred solution here, as they provide homogeneous, wide-area and glare-free light.

Floor lamps for the home office

Free-standing luminaires can replace a desk lamp by directing their light towards the desk. Professional uplight and downlight luminaires provide both direct working light and indirect general lighting in the room.

Pendant lights for the study

Pendant luminaires provide professional lighting from above in the home office. They are particularly useful when the furniture in the study is fixed and the pendant light can be optimally positioned.

Clamp lights for the home office

The clamp light offers a simple way to illuminate the home office quickly and in a space-saving manner. It can be flexibly attached to small work surfaces and offers a good quality of light comparable to conventional desk lamps.

Wall lamps for the study

Wall lamps can also improve the lighting conditions in the home office, especially the general lighting. It is important that no open light sources are used to avoid annoying glare effects.

 

The basic aspects of home office lighting

No expert knowledge is required to select the right luminaires for the home office. However, with a basic understanding of a few technical aspects, you can achieve the maximum lighting ambience in your personal workspace.

Lumen: The brightness

The unit of measurement lumen provides information about the brightness of a lamp or luminaire. While lighting design in the office is based on lux, simpler guidelines can be used in the home office: Around 100-150 lm/m² is recommended for general lighting in the room, with an additional 400-500 lumens for desk lighting.

Kelvin: The lighting effect

Die Farbtemperatur, gemessen in Kelvin, bestimmt die Wirkung des Lichts. Für die Arbeit im Homeoffice empfiehlt sich tagsüber Universalweiß (3.300-5.300 K). Abends kann auf warmweißes Licht (<3.300 K) umgestellt werden, um die Erholungsphase zu unterstützen. Ideal sind Leuchtmittel mit verstellbarer Lichtfarbe (CCT-Funktion).

Cost efficiency: energy consumption

As the lighting in the home office is usually in operation for many hours a day, it is worth replacing old light sources with more energy-efficient versions. In comparison, incandescent lamps produce around 10 lumens per watt, whereas LED lamps produce around 100 lumens. Current LED lamps in energy efficiency class A even achieve up to 200 lumens per watt.

In which styles can I design my home office?

The home office offers a variety of modern styles, particularly when it comes to choosing a desk lamp. In contrast to the traditional office workplace, the home office enables a more individual and therefore more motivating design of the working environment.

Modern

Straightforward, filigree and with surprising details: this also characterizes the modern style of desk lamps. Modern lights often use permanently installed LEDs with minimal energy consumption. These LEDs fit compactly into the design, are long-lasting and have a high switching resistance so that frequent switching on and off hardly affects their durability.

Classic

The classic banker's lamp is a symbol of timeless elegance on the desk. With its green, rectangular shade and often brass-colored frame, it radiates a special noblesse. In the home office, it not only impresses with its style, but also with its efficiency. In addition to the traditional banker's lamp, there are other designs that can influence the character of the desk.

Retro

What works in the living area also works in the home office: the retro look combines stylish design with a pinch of nostalgia. Working in the ambience of the fifties, sixties and seventies provides variety on the desk. Retro designs focus on expressive colors and striking geometric shapes without superfluous embellishments.

Young living

When a teenager's room becomes a study and work area, glare-free and efficient desk lighting is essential. Timeless design for a small budget characterizes the lights for the first "home office". These lights often also accompany their owners into their first apartment or shared room.

 

A lighting concept for the home office

A well thought-out lighting concept in the home office combines generous ambient lighting with targeted zone lighting.Atmospheric ambient lighting can also be integrated into the personal work area, for example to discreetly illuminate works of art on the walls. A balanced ratio ofdirect and indirect light creates comfortable and pleasant lighting conditions, which is why several light sources are used simultaneously in the home office.

Basic lighting in the home office

LED panels provide large-area and uniform light, while their design sets discreet and professional accents. LED panels are therefore ideal for general illumination in the home office.

Zone lighting in the home office

A desk lamp is an uncomplicated option for effective zone lighting. To minimize shadows, it is positioned on the left for right-handed users and on the right for left-handed users.

Direct/indirect combination B

Office free-standing luminaires with integrated direct and indirect light provide both bright ambient lighting and targeted zone lighting. Thanks to their U-shaped base, they can be positioned in the office to save space.

FAQ

Which lighting is suitable for office break rooms?

For break rooms, we recommend warm daylight or subtle backlighting to create a relaxing atmosphere and help you recharge your batteries.

Why are dimmable lamps useful in the office?

Dimmable lamps make it possible to adjust the light intensity. In the morning, more intense light promotes concentration, while dimmed light in the afternoon creates a more relaxed working environment and prepares you for the evening ahead.
