Common Lighting Mistakes to Avoid in Your Business ❌

Lighting is a pivotal part of any business environment, impacting everything from the long-term operation cost, safety and productivity of the employees and users  to branding and aesthetics. However, I commonly encounter otherwise successful businesses making easily avoidable lighting mistakes. Here are 3 of the most frequent:

1.Unit price the main decision criteria. Modernizing your lighting should be well considered from the very beginning. Asking yourself WHY you are you changing to LED’s in the first place is a good start. WHAT is the main goal of the modernization and HOW can you achieve those goals ?  Too often the replacement of old light fixtures  is executed with short term goals in mind and the cheapest #LED-luminaires chosen. 

When considering price, total cost of the ownership should be taken into consideration, this can save you both money and time. And you wont end up replacing the LED´s just as often as the old fluorescent lamps. With no gain at all. 

2. Prioritizing Style Over Function: Beautiful #lighting fixtures and design will fall flat if they don’t provide usable, quality illumination. Function comes first - make sure the light design and chosen fixtures are appropriate for the space and its users.  Light levels should suit the tasks performed in each space and environmental factors taken into consideration. The ÍST EN 12464-1 / Light and lighting – Lighting of #workplaces standards provides guidelines for minimum light levels for various spaces. BUT the minimum, sometimes, is not enough. 

For working areas, evenly lit spaces with high quality LED-fixtures that provide good uniformity works best. Shadows and high contrast between light and dark should be avoided.  🌓💡

Lighting needs vary between your office, production area, retail space,social room etc. Create lighting zones that align with how different areas are used. 🏢

3. Set It and Forget It: Lighting should evolve as your #business changes. Growth, renovations, or new tasks may require reassessment. Similarly, maintenance is key for sustained performance. ⏱

The core keys are tuning lighting to your unique needs, using the right fixtures in the right places, and taking a proactive long-term approach. Avoid these common pitfalls through professional lighting needs analysis and #solutions tailored for your business.
