Schools, libraries and reading rooms

Calm, even light for learning and reading

Classrooms, libraries and reading rooms need light that is easy on the eyes for hours at a time. Even overhead light, a lamp at every reading chair and warm light in quiet corners help people focus and stay.

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.
