Having the correct lighting in an office workspace can be critical in terms of the productivity of office based staff.

The human eye can adapt to a very wide range of light levels, but it can only adapt to one level at a time. When a person looks at a bright computer screen on a dark background, the eye has trouble in deciding on which light level to adapt to. When this happens hour after hour, then day after day, the likely hood of fatigue setting increases. This leads to decreased productivity and awareness. By matching the lighting environment to the physical environment, the comfort level of the human body increases, and so does the efficiency of the staff that work in it.

Using fluorescent light sources is an excellent choice for the office environment. Using linear fluorescent systems, that have high color rendering, appropriate color choice, long life and high efficiency is a logical choice. The large 1200mm fluorescent tubes provide a large radiant surface that help minimize shadows. For general ambient lighting, use ceiling mounted and recessed fixtures, indirect pendants and wall mounted lighting. For task lighting, you can use fluorescent down lights or shelf lighting.

90% of the purchasing is made at the point of sale!

Over the last two decades, the retail environment has drastically changed, with retailers looking for an edge in a competitive marketplace. As 90% of the consumer purchasing is made at the point of sale, the look and feel of their respective products needs to stand out above the rest.

Lighting is a major part in the presentation of store merchandise. With the correct lighting, products can look vibrant, colorful, and exciting. Lighting should be considered as much a sales tool as in store advertising. It can be used to entice customers to enter into the store, direct them into specific areas, and excite the customer about a specific product. All whilst conveying specific moods and enhancing store themes.

Day lighting has been shown to provide a satisfying visual environment that can support retail sales; store owners are more aware of the costs associated with the cost of lighting per sale, and are now seeking out savings through either new technology, or efficient lighting products.

The quality of light is also very important, and factors such as color quality, distribution and glare must be addressed. It is critical to think of light in three dimensions, as the task of lighting products not only includes horizontal merchandising, but also can involve vertical display walls, and even the ability to make customers appear flattering in fitting rooms.

Most retail lighting is either static or kinetic. The static approach to lighting is where fixtures are permanent and provide a general pattern of illumination which follows the merchandise layout. With kinetic lighting, fixtures can be aimed and moved to support of requirements that of the merchandising goal. The strategy associated generally determines the type of lighting system used in the store.

There are many areas where lighting is difficult and costly to access.

One example would be Roadway Tunnel Lighting where workman contend with traffic, confined awkward access and dirty working conditions.

In many cases maintenance is carried out after hours when traffic volume are low, thus reducing the disruption to drivers. Maintenance costs are high as a minimum of two workman are required, whilst one operates the evaded boom the other needs to stand guard and manage traffic.

As most tunnels include tolls, lane closures can impact revenue.

Aura super long life fluorescent lamps are ideally suited to these awkward access areas.
