Illuminating the way towards a greener future

Lighting has many purposes within our workspaces, whether you’re using it for its practical purpose to create visibility where there is darkness or whether you’re using it to create beautiful interiors, we underestimate how much we value lighting options in our offices. Gone are the days of using energy consuming halogens but what are the benefits of getting your lighting designs and choices right? 
 

Exploring the bright idea on efficiency 

Energy-efficient lighting technologies, such as LED (Light Emitting Diode) and CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp), have changed how much energy we consume when using light sources. Offices tend to have to utilise ceiling lights throughout the working day so this has been a huge benefit to workplaces as years have gone by. An LED Bulb can use up to 75% less energy compared to their counterparts making it an economical and efficient option. We’re realistic that suppliers and customers alike are choosing these bulbs without hesitation now but it’s a nice reminder to understand our energy impact. 
 

Improving working conditions improves your eye health

Poor light conditions can affect your optical health massively, if you’re working under dark conditions or poor design, the effect it can have on your performance can reflect that. The right lighting choices in the right locations makes a big difference on productivity, reducing eye strain, headaches from straining and it can affect mood. A workplace interiors designer can help educate you on the best practice for lighting placements and ensure it’s an effective placement for your team. 
 

Conscious decisions makes for a brighter future 

Whilst LED bulbs and efficient light sources are here to stay and not just a trend, it’s just one of the many ways we encourage sustainability here at iOTA. Many Northamptonshire, and neighbouring counties, workplaces have benefited from our consultancy and design services by reducing their energy bills and carbon footprints when it comes to illumination in the workspace. 

If we work together, we can help to make a significant difference in our world and with a multitude of lighting options, designs, colours, modern technologies and efficient types, we can still provide the best design solutions without compromising on sustainability. If you’re looking to shake up your workplace design and get the important details like lighting right, get in touch with us today.
