Versatile office lighting
Not all light is the same – especially not in an open‑plan office. The right office lighting is a real productivity booster: it can reduce errors, increase concentration, and noticeably improve the working atmosphere. Choose the lighting that fits your needs:
- Ceiling lights for even illumination
- Desk lamps for productive work
- Indirect lighting for a pleasant room atmosphere
- Glare‑free lighting for screen workstations
Ceiling lighting for the office: flexible and modular
Track lighting and ceiling spots are the chameleons of office lighting. They can be rearranged at any time and adjusted individually. With dimmable LEDs and smart controls, they adapt perfectly to changing office layouts and team structures. Ceiling lighting and track systems can be positioned precisely above the office furniture. This allows you to create perfect lighting accents, support the room atmosphere, and achieve a harmonious, well‑designed look.
What makes good office lighting?
You can recognize good office lighting by the fact that it hardly draws attention to itself — everything simply feels right. It combines functional light for focused work with a pleasant atmosphere that supports motivation and concentration. The right mix of ceiling lighting, targeted spots, desk lamps, and indirect lighting ensures that every area of the office gets exactly the light it needs.
Office lighting: energy‑efficient and smartly controlled
Modern office lighting can do more than just shine. LED lamps lower energy consumption, reduce maintenance costs, and help protect your budget. With IKEA smart home lighting, brightness can be adjusted to daylight levels and presence in the office — the lights are only on when needed and at the right intensity. This not only helps protect the environment but also saves valuable resources for your business.
What you should consider when lighting your office
Modern office lighting in Austria must not only be functional but also meet legal and normative requirements. Specifically, companies should follow the ÖNORM EN 12464‑1, which regulates office lighting across Europe. For office workstations, a minimum illuminance of 500 lux, uniform lighting, an appropriate light colour, and reduced reflections for screen work are recommended. Especially in open‑plan offices, this means that office lighting should be task‑appropriate, glare‑free, and flexible to optimally support different activities and work zones.
Office lighting: combining it cleverly
In modern open‑plan offices, it’s not just about choosing the right office lighting — it’s about creating a well‑thought‑out interplay of light, furniture, acoustic elements, and air quality. Track systems above office desks provide ergonomically correct, glare‑free lighting, while strategically placed ceiling spots above shelves or filing cabinets not only create an atmospheric ambience but also help you find documents and office accessories quickly. Acoustic panels reduce distracting noise, and smart air purifiers ensure fresh, clean air to support a productive working environment. This creates an office that is functional, flexible, and ergonomic — a place where people genuinely enjoy working.
