Collingwood Lighting has produced a lighting design guide for offices to help electricians win more commercial lighting business this winter.<\/p>\n
Says Andrew Fairhurst, sales director at Collingwood: \u201cIt\u2019s now over a year since the ban on manufacturing fluorescents, which means there will be lots of offices refurbishing their lighting and installing modern LED luminaires over the next few months.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnergy savings and fast payback periods of often less than a year are powerful arguments; but it is also an opportunity to design better lighting schemes to create a welcoming environment that aids concentration and productivity.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy unlocking the secrets of good office lighting design, this guide will help electricians win more business in a sector where there will be a huge demand this winter.\u201d<\/p>\n
The guide explains the principles of lighting design to mix ambient, accent and task lighting to create a sophisticated multi-layered scheme. It details recommended illuminations levels for different areas, correlated colour temperatures, how to minimise glare and lighting control.<\/p>\n
Recognising that there are different areas and rooms in a typical office block, it also provides a room by room guide to help the contractor provide a compliant and good design throughout the building. The guide also covers emergency lighting requirements and details how Collingwood Lighting supports contractors and wholesalers with a lighting design service.<\/p>\n
