Conference room lighting

The lighting system in the conference room must first of all provide a sufficient level of illumination of workplaces and fit into the design project of the room. The aesthetics of each individual luminaire and the solution as a whole are given special attention. The possibilities of modern equipment even allow to maintain the corporate style in the lighting of the halls.

What tasks are to be solved

In the conference room, for each person present, it is necessary to create optimal lighting conditions for the effective performance of work, reducing visual fatigue. Meetings and seminars often last for several hours, so the factor of light comfort is very important. In the reception area and at the entrance to the conference hall, lighting requirements are less stringent, so it is acceptable to use corporate-style solutions there that contribute to the formation of the company's image.
So, the main tasks are as follows:

• formation of flexible scenarios for the implementation of various modes of the hall;
• development of effective solutions using modern equipment;
• create an expressive lighting design.

Principles of creating a project

Lighting of conference rooms must comply with applicable building codes and regulations, sanitary and hygienic requirements. It is best to entrust system design to specialists. A professional is able to create a lighting system that will not only cover a large space of a conference room, but also create a certain atmosphere in it.

The placement of lamps most often corresponds to the standard scheme: diffused light in the zone of visual places, lighting around the perimeter of the room and near the common table for meetings. It is necessary to provide for the possibility of smooth switching off and on of lighting for the organization of film screenings. Local lighting in the hall is used near the places for presentations, near the speaker's podium, less often - above each visual place.

In the design of lighting systems, many factors are taken into account: the presence and size of windows, the architectural features of the room, the reflective characteristics of finishing materials, the color of furniture, etc. They also take into account the requirements of standards. For example, Russian building codes require the level of illumination for conference rooms to be at least 300 lux, while European ones require at least 500 lux. In practice, comfortable lighting is characterized by an intensity of up to 700 lux. The color temperature of the lamps should be in the range of 3000-3800 K, and with a lot of sunlight - 5500 K. With such values, the faces of people in the hall will have a natural shade.

Choosing fixtures

To illuminate large halls, various types of LED equipment are used: overhead, built-in, suspended, etc. It is convenient to use dimmable devices to implement various lighting scenarios. They choose devices that can be integrated into the automatic control system and that comply with the general design ideas.

Lines of light

Linear luminaires are perfect for organizing the main lighting in a conference room. It can be placed along the perimeter of the room and highlight functional areas - different sectors, periphery, tribune and presentation place.

The advantage of linear luminaires is also a uniform illumination and the absence of pixelation - HOKASU luminaires contribute to high-quality visibility of speakers and conference participants.

Let's talk about the technical part. The power and number of fixtures is calculated taking into account the area and configuration of the room. When calculating the illumination, we also take into account the reflectivity of the surfaces so that the light falling on the surface does not create glare and does not dazzle the audience.

Recommended Models

• Pendant lamp HOKASU S50.
• Lamp HOKASU Star.
• Ring Light HOKASU Halo.

Common mistakes

• Using global light without local illumination.
• Using directional light streams that create harsh shadows.

HOKASU will select for you the luminaires that meet your requirements. To do this, leave a request on the site.

Conference room in the office of Rusatom Service

Especially for the conference hall of Rusatom Service, we provided a lighting concept focused on providing excellent visibility of the entire area - the idea forms an adequate perception of the information provided at events.

Linear lighting is organized by lamps of the HOKASU S50 series. Suspended structures are made in black from a profile with dimensions of 50/50mm.

Illumination calculation

When developing a project, it can be difficult to understand how much light will be needed in a room and certain areas. To avoid shortages or overruns, a detailed calculation is necessary. What is meant by illumination calculation? – Determining the number of required fixtures and their characteristics for the room.

• Send us a drawing or plan of the premises for which you need to calculate by e-mail sale@hokasu.com.
• Indicate the color scheme of the walls and floor, the height of the ceiling, indicate the purpose of the premises.
• Select and specify the models of luminaires from our catalog that you plan to install.
