    Design approach

    Even for focus, warm for reading

    Glare and flicker tire eyes quickly. A few simple layers keep a room comfortable from the first lesson to the last.

    • Even light overhead. Linear suspension and flush mount lights spread light across desks without hot spots.
    • A lamp at every reading chair. Floor and table lamps put light on the page, not in anyone's eyes.
    • Neutral color for study. Light around 4000K keeps text sharp in classrooms and study areas.
    • Warm corners for reading. Softer 2700K light in reading nooks makes them feel inviting.
    • Wall lamps where space is tight. Reading wall lamps free up floor and desk space.
