Top Tips to improve your office lighting

Whether we have experienced in our own lives, or have seen it in a movie, offices can be portrayed in many ways. They can be seen as a bustling haven where millions can be made…or can be seen as a miserable dark place where you show up every day to earn not enough money. Whatever way you may see it, an office can be great. You get to work indoors, you get to sit down, eat a hot lunch and can often talk to your employees. However, on the other hand, an office can be a small, dark cubicle, where you are required to complete a certain number of calls before you leave. You communicate with nobody else besides customers on the phone, and it can be a very dull and dark environment. Let’s talk about the many ways that you can liven up your workplace with some improved office lighting.

Firstly, the most obvious, and preferred way to lighten up the office space is by using free lighting…natural lighting! Having plenty of well-placed windows is a great way to add plenty of light to an office space, and best of all, it does not cost any money. This being said, we know that most companies in an office space are renting, so chances are, you cannot make the choices around installing new windows or moving existing ones.

A really great and innovative way to add more lighting is by switching your globes to LED lighting. LED is a newer technology, and is seen as the superior lighting option. This is due to its much more vibrant and brighter colour, its ease of installation, along with its great price and running costs. Considering an LED globe will contribute much lighter to a workspace, it will actually cost far less in the long term. Firstly, it will use less electricity than that of a regular light globe, and also, the life expectancy is much, much longer, meaning no need to get them replaced by an electrician on Gold Coast any time soon!

Another great way to increase lighting is by using lamps. Whether these are desk lamps to reduce the effects of blue light from computer screens, or floor lamps to add some much-needed light in the darker corners of the office, lamps are a great way to add light into the office.

Light distribution and placement are a massive factor when considering ways to add light into the office. It may seem like a massive job; however, it is nothing that a qualified electrician on The Gold Coast cannot take care of.

Finally, incorporating some lighter fixtures, light colours, large mirrors and indoor windows will work wonders in lightening up the office space.
