Office Lighting Design Techniques using Dialux evo

Define office lighting as a luminaire for the office and desk task light, and explain how dynamic lighting boosts health and productivity while reducing flicker and energy use.

Learn the LG G7 office lighting standard from CBC, including lux targets, glare and CRI requirements, and scene-specific guidance for filing, typing, CAD work, conference rooms, reception, and archives.

Explore human centric lighting that mimics natural daylight to enhance vision, health, and well-being in office lighting design, using dynamic luminaires from cool to warm white to support circadian rhythm.

Explore circadian rhythm as a 24-hour cycle that governs sleep-wake patterns and how office lighting mimics daylight with morning light, midday blue light, and evening yellowish light to support health.

Harness daylight in office design to support circadian rhythm and human centric lighting. Use Deluxe Evo for daylight calculations and glare checks to inform luminaire placement.

Explore common office luminaires—downlights, pendants, surface-mounted fittings, 60 by 60 luminaires, wall mounts, spotlights, and floor luminaires—and how to source photometric files via lume search or manufacturer websites.

Discover tunable white, or dynamic white, from 2700K to 6500K with DALI dimmable LED luminaires and a color rendering of 90, and show color shifts via light scenes to clients.

Explore office lighting control essentials for energy efficiency and human-centric lighting, including automatic and manual control, tunable white options, luminaire compatibility, and seamless gradient transitions.

Understand how CRI and CCD influence color rendering and color temperature in lighting design, from high CRI retail visuals to office needs for 4000 kelvin and tunable white.

Explore office glare by defining ugr and its health effects. Learn why luminaire marketing terms can mislead about glare and prepare for a deluxe software hands-on tutorial.

install deluxe evo software and AutoCAD 13 or newer, download the AutoCAD drawing from the additional resources tab, and follow along with the hands-on tutorial.

Clean and verify the CAD file, confirm millimeter units, import into Deluxe Evo, and prepare 2D projections while organizing layers and colors for the corridor.

Learn corridor lighting techniques using linear luminaires or downlights for office, hospital, and hotel settings. Use deluxe evo to select luminaires and ensure 100 lux with 0.4 uniformity.

Design a reception area lighting plan using recessed fittings or suspended up and down luminaires, add wall washers to highlight branding, and apply AutoCAD layout guidance.

Design a small meeting room using suspended, linear, or recessed lighting to achieve 500 lux on the table with 0.6 uniformity and dimmable, layered lighting for tv conferencing.

Design a conference room lighting scheme that delivers 500 lux on the table with 0.6 uniformity, enabling scenes for meetings, video conferencing, and presentations.

Create and save boardroom lighting scenes, grouping luminaires into downlights, wall washers, and suspended, calculating lux on the projector and table, and exporting views for client presentations.

Create a GIF animation of the light scene with a GIF maker, upload images, set speed (1000–1500 ms), and enable infinite looping or export as MP4 for documentation.

Explore tunable white lighting in an office setting, using dynamic lighting to follow circadian rhythm from warm to bluish daylight, with adjustable downlights and luminaires.

Design an open office lighting layout by placing 60x60 panel luminaires to achieve 500 lux, 0.6 overall uniformity, and UGR under 19.

Learn to align 60 by 60 luminaires with a ceiling grid, create a reflected ceiling plan, and adjust placements to maintain overall uniformity and lux.

Create the archive filing room in the CAD model, install two 60 by 60 luminaires, and achieve about 200 lux with 0.4–0.48 uniformity on a grid ceiling.

Label the IT room and install luminaires to achieve 300 lux with uniformity. Extend lighting design to the canteen using downlights and LED strips to reach 500 lux on counters.

Create a daylighting calculation for an open office by modeling a glass window and daylight scene with a clear sky in Dubai. Assess lux distribution and adjust fenestration options, blinds.

Combine daylight and artificial light calculations to see how luminaire groups affect lux levels, use daylighting controls to dim during peak sun, and highlight energy savings and health benefits.
