What light levels are optimal in different situations?

In our modern lives, we spend most of our time indoors, whether at work, at school or at home. Therefore, it is important to ensure optimal lighting conditions for our well-being and health. According to Recommendations for Daylight and Artificial Lighting in Buildings, it is crucial to create a balance between daylight and artificial lighting to ensure a good indoor climate.

Workplace lighting levels

Effective lighting in the workplace plays a crucial role in our well-being and productivity. According to the Danish Working Environment Authority, it is important to have sufficient light to perform work without straining your eyes. Good lighting in the workplace can help reduce fatigue and eye problems.

In office environments, the ideal light level is around 500 lux, while in more precision-demanding work such as reading or fine mechanics, up to 1000 lux may be appropriate. With ÅBN's solutions such as Skyen, you can create the right lighting environment in the office that promotes both well-being and efficiency.

Light levels in the home

Good lighting at home is just as important as at work. The right level of light can create coziness and comfort in the home. According to Energia.dk , proper lighting in the home can help create the right moods and support our daily activities.

In the living room, around 200 lux is ideal, while in the kitchen and bathroom, up to 500 lux can be reasonable. With ÅBN's technological solutions, you can create the perfect lighting environment at home that is both energy-efficient and comfortable for the whole family.
