Question 1

How do I choose LED lighting for an office?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right LED office lighting depends on the room layout, ceiling height, work being performed, required illumination, glare control, colour quality and the type of ceiling or mounting system. Luminaire spacing and light distribution are just as important as wattage or lumen output. Magnitech can assist with product selection and SANS-aligned lighting design to create efficient, uniform and comfortable office lighting.

Question 2

How can glare be reduced in commercial interiors?

Accepted Answer

Glare can be reduced through the correct combination of low-glare luminaires, optical control, appropriate spacing, mounting position and balanced illumination across the workspace. Ceiling and surface reflectance should also be considered when designing office lighting. Magnitech selects luminaires and layouts with visual comfort in mind, including consideration of Unified Glare Rating (UGR) where applicable.

Question 3

What lighting levels are required for office spaces?

Accepted Answer

The appropriate lighting level depends on the type of space and the visual tasks being performed. General office areas, meeting rooms, circulation spaces and detailed work areas can require different levels of illumination and uniformity. Rather than applying one lighting level to an entire building, Magnitech can provide a SANS-aligned lighting design that considers the intended use of each area, luminaire layout, glare and overall visual comfort.

Question 4

Can existing fluorescent office lighting be replaced with LED?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Existing fluorescent office lighting can often be replaced with more energy-efficient LED luminaires. A successful retrofit should consider the existing ceiling modules, cut-outs, mounting arrangement, luminaire spacing and required illumination rather than simply replacing fluorescent wattage with an equivalent LED wattage. Magnitech can assist with selecting suitable LED replacements and confirming the most appropriate layout for the existing installation.

Question 5

Are dimming and occupancy controls available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dimming and lighting-control options are available on selected Magnitech commercial luminaires. Depending on the product and project requirements, lighting systems can incorporate dimming, occupancy or presence sensors and daylight-responsive control to reduce unnecessary energy use while maintaining the required lighting conditions. Control compatibility should be confirmed for the specific luminaire during product selection.
