Lighting solutions for schools
-safe, smart, and sustainable

The right lighting in school environments is essential for creating an effective and enjoyable learning space where students can stay focused and energized throughout the day. Flexible lighting solutions are needed to support both individual work and group activities. Lighting should accompany students through their school day, adapting to various activities and changing needs—from intense lessons to quiet moments of reflection, meals, and breaks. Natural light and adjustable color temperatures are also key, as they positively impact both concentration and well-being.

Classroom

Lighting in classrooms and lecture halls is crucial for fostering a productive learning environment and helping students stay focused throughout the day. Good task lighting can support learning and enhance concentration, making the right lighting solution a valuable asset in the classroom.

Today’s classrooms often require flexible layouts and furniture arrangements for different types of lessons and group sizes, making adaptable lighting a necessity. Combining direct and indirect symmetrical lighting creates pleasant and effective general illumination. Too much direct lighting can cause harsh contrasts and shadows, disrupting focus and comfort. The area around the whiteboard should be lit with directed, asymmetrical lighting to reduce glare and enhance visibility for presentations.

Sports Hall

In sports halls, robust and durable lighting fixtures are essential to withstand impacts from balls or other objects while providing high-quality, glare-free general lighting. Different activities and sports demand varying light patterns and intensity, necessitating flexible lighting solutions that can easily adapt. It’s equally important to ensure the lighting doesn’t glare or distract players or spectators.

If the hall is also used for performances, lectures, or theatrical events, the ability to dim the lighting in specific areas or across the entire space becomes critical. Sometimes, separate lighting controls for different zones within the hall may also be required.

Dining Area

Lighting in school dining areas should foster a sense of warmth and relaxation—offering a contrast to the high energy of classrooms. The lighting should signal a space for recuperation, where students and staff can unwind and enjoy meals in a comfortable setting. Soft, warm lighting creates an inviting atmosphere that makes the dining area feel like a safe oasis during the school day.

For example, softer lighting over tables can evoke a restaurant-like ambiance, encouraging conversation and social interaction. With the right lighting solution, the dining area can become a harmonious space that energizes and calms students, preparing them to return to their studies.

Open Areas/Commons

The open areas and commons in schools are the heart of movement, where students and staff meet, interact, and cross paths. Here, lighting should do more than illuminate—it should create an atmosphere of energy, safety, and community. Lighting in these spaces should shift between being lively and inviting, offering guidance while also providing opportunities for brief moments of pause in the busy school day.

Libary

When lighting a school library, it is important to create a calm and comfortable environment while ensuring sufficient light for reading and studying. Balanced lighting promotes focus and makes the library a serene space for learning.

Schoolyard

The schoolyard is more than just a playground—it’s a dynamic outdoor space where laughter, movement, and community create their own energy. Here, lighting should invite a sense of safety while leaving room for imagination. It should make the space accessible and welcoming, even as it allows students’ creativity and playfulness to shine.
