Education
In a school, lighting is a fundamental learning tool. The right light directly supports student concentration and well-being, while a flexible, efficient system provides long-term value for the entire facility.
School and Education
Lighting in educational facilities is a critical component of an effective learning environment. The primary goal is to enhance student focus and comfort by providing high-quality, glare-free illumination. In classrooms, where students perform visual tasks for long periods, light with a low Unified Glare Rating (UGR) is essential to prevent eye strain and fatigue, directly impacting their ability to concentrate. Modern schools are dynamic, multi-functional spaces. A classroom may host a lecture, a group project, and a digital presentation all in the same day. The lighting system must be equally flexible. By using smart controls like DALI, teachers can easily switch between pre-set lighting scenes to create the optimal conditions for each activity. Furthermore, implementing Human Centric Lighting that adjusts its color temperature throughout the day can help regulate students' energy levels and support their natural circadian rhythms. At SG Armaturen, we provide lighting solutions that create better learning environments. Our systems are designed to be flexible, energy-efficient, and robust, supporting the dynamic needs of students and teachers while delivering low operational costs for the institution.

Tips #1
Prioritize glare control in all learning spaces
In classrooms and libraries, always use fixtures with a low Unified Glare Rating (UGR < 19). This is the most important factor in preventing visual fatigue and helping students to concentrate for longer periods.
-
Tips #2
Implement adaptable lighting scenes
Use a DALI control system to create pre-set scenes in classrooms (e.g., 'Presentation', 'Group Work', 'General'). This gives teachers simple, one-touch control to instantly adapt the room to the learning activity.
-
Tips #3
Use smart sensors in common areas
Install motion detection and daylight sensors in corridors, canteens, and auditoriums. These spaces are often empty, and smart controls can reduce energy consumption significantly without compromising safety.
-
Tips #4
Choose durable fixtures for high-traffic zones
For corridors and sports halls, select fixtures with a high impact rating (IK08 or above). This ensures they can withstand the daily wear and tear of a busy school environment and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
