Office lighting –
This is what matters.
When furnishing the office, it's not just about ergonomic equipment. Light in the office also contributes to healthy and effective working. It is not just general lighting that needs to be considered here, as flexible and activity-related lighting at the workplace is also extremely important, as the lighting conditions should be optimally adaptable to the activity.
The ideal lighting in the office or living room
The right office lighting is not only important for employees, but also for saving energy. Room lighting should be bright, but not too bright, especially in the darker months of the year. A good balance between direct and indirect lighting is essential.
Optimal lighting is achieved when the desk is positioned at right angles to the window and light sources are arranged parallel to the window. The light color also has an impact: warm white, neutral white or daylight white are the ideal variants. Indirect lighting is best in conference rooms. High contrasts should be avoided.
The age of the employee also influences the choice of lighting - older people need brighter light. However, the best feel-good factor is still daylight, which should never be dazzling.
Switching to LED lighting can save at least 50% electricity.
Office floor lamps
Make a design statement with the right floor lamp and create a unique atmosphere in the study. A floor lamp can vary greatly in size, shape, color and design. You decide what you like best and what suits the interior of the room.
Another option is to use special office floor lamps that provide direct-indirect light emission. This type of luminaire creates a pleasant ambient light without directly affecting the desk. This can reduce eye strain and improve legibility.
Overall, floor lamps are a valuable addition to any office workspace and can be beneficial for both the design and functionality of the room.
Using daylight productively
It is not possible to find an artificial light source that mimics sunlight so well that you could do without daylight. Working in a bright environment is the most pleasant for most people. It also makes sense from a sustainable, green point of view to do without artificial lighting during the day. Statistics show that up to 20 percent of electricity costs in companies could be reduced by direct sunlight from the sun.
Occasion lights?
Your office can contain expensive or inexpensive furniture. This furniture can be new or used. But what makes the difference? Do floor lamps shine worse if they have already been used in another office? Basically, you can say that floor lamps, office chairs and office desks have a very long service life. Why buy new when you can have the same quality at a lower price?
History of the luminaire
The history of lamps begins with oil lamps. Burning stones filled with oil were used as a source of light and were later replaced by argand and kerosene lamps. Candles also found their place in many households. In 1840, the first incandescent lamp with a filament was patented. As researchers were always looking for improved materials for the filament, they finally arrived at today's metal.
Special LED table lamps with rechargeable battery also for outdoor use
The table lamp offers a variety of lighting options and can not only be used indoors as a practical light, but also outdoors if you want to make yourself comfortable on the balcony or patio.
The luminaire is protected against the weather.
This table lamp is the elegant solution for anywhere, as it has a long-lasting rechargeable battery that promises a long burn time and can be easily recharged via a USB cable.

The invention of light
The way light works was long an unexplained phenomenon for early scientists. However, Galileo Galilei studied the nature of light and Newton then explained the propagation of light with his corpuscle theory. James Clerk Maxwell was finally able to explain electromagnetic waves in 1864. Max Planck and Albert Einstein also described quantum physics and quantum electrodynamics in the 19th century - theories that still serve as a basis for explaining light today.
Still shining today!
The Livermore Centennial Light Bulb has been burning continuously since 1901. The bulb was installed in a fire station in California and has provided light for firefighters around the clock ever since. Although the bulb is already over 100 years old, it still works perfectly and even has a low light output of just four watts.
