Artificial Light In Sync With The Solar Path

The recommended illuminance levels of 500 lux may well guarantee an adequate visual ambience, but they still mean that a large part of office activity is still carried out in 'biological darkness'.

The numerous positive psychological and biological effects of light cannot be taken advantage of with such a relatively low level of light.

Scientists and professional associations have the following demands: considerably higher illuminance levels and an increased use of daylight. The high illuminance levels are not only required for horizontal working surfaces, but more importantly for vertical services. The so-called Darklight or CAT luminaires have mostly extremely narrow beam distribution, emit only a small amount of light to the walls and to the ceiling, and often contribute too little to biological effectiveness.

In order to meet the demands of high vertical illuminance levels coupled with glare absence, Siteco offers varying lighting concepts for the office. These include newer light and luminaire concepts such as Eldacon microprismatic technology, a correct handling of artificial light with daylight as well as the use of intelligent lighting management.
