Lighting Systems for Libraries

Lighting for university libraries and study areas should create an environment that aids concentration without creating fatigue. Soft ambient lighting that minimises distraction while providing well-lit areas for working is important in a balanced space.

Planning the lighting system for a study area should recognise the different activities that will be undertaken with clear distinctions between them. Around bookcases and workspaces, lighting should be bright and diffused to prevent reflections from screens and reduce eyestrain. Individually operated lighting in desk areas allows users to create a comfortable learning space.

The inclusion of motion-controlled smart lighting in transit areas can reduce energy consumption when usage levels are low but allow safe usage at other times and maximise the use of daylight.
