Extract
Cellular offices
The type of lighting required depends on the structure of the room, the use or uses to which it is put and the atmosphere that needs to be created. In most cellular offices, louvered recessed luminaires are the option most widely preferred. Louvered luminaires suitably glare-suppressed for direct lighting are an economical solution for many applications, also providing good conditions for VDU work.
A more agreeable and more motivating impression is made by a room where pendant luminaires for direct/indirect lighting are used. By illuminating the ceiling, these avoid a "cave effect" even in small offices, achieve a more natural distribution of brightness and give the room a more homely appearance. For meetings especially, direct/indirect lighting systems generate a better visual ambience because light and shade are more balanced and faces look more natural.
