In lighting applications for EDUCATION, we strongly emphasise those criteria within the LQS that support the provision of a high quality solution for classrooms - ERGONOMICS, EMOTION, EFFICIENCY.
2. We believe that a high
quality lighting solution is
about more than meeting
standards. For this reason,
we developed the Lighting
Quality Standard (LQS), which
focuses on the provision of
optimal illumination that
ensures the comfort and
wellbeing of users.
The LQS is a unique
assessment methodology
based on 20 objectively
quantifiable criteria that
enables the clear evaluation
of a lighting solution's quality.

improves student concentra-
tion and performance.
Therefore, in EDUCATION ap-
plications, we strongly em-
phasise those criteria within
the LQS that support the pro-
vision of a high quality solu-
tion for classrooms. EMOTIONERGONOMICS

4. ERGONOMICS
Ergonomics is all about
providing the right light in the
right place at the right time.
80 % of our perception of
the world around is us visual.
In education, this makes
it especially important the
lighting supports accurate
and comfortable visual
perception.
EDUCATION
5. ERGONOMICS
PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTOR
Clear perception of learning
materials has a direct influen-
ce on students' relationship
to learning, with the use of
physiologically effective illu-
mination playing a key role.

7. ERGONOMICS
EDUCATION
HARMONIOUS
DISTRIBUTION
OF BRIGHTNESS
Extensive research into
the effects of light upon
perceptionandwellbeinghave
led us to the conclusion that
meeting normative standards
is a minimum and that more
emphasis should be placed
on the uniform distribution
of brightness throughout a
classroom. Standard
Right Light
8. EMOTION
Light has a powerful ability
to influence mood in a
positive or negative way.
An understanding of this is
fundamental in the creation of
a successful lighting solution.
EDUCATION
9. EMOTION
ILLUMINATION
OF ROOM SURFACES
The use of an optimal ratio
between the illumination of
all room surfaces aids in the
prevention of both visual and
psychological fatigue.
This includes paying attention
to the illumination of vertical
as well as horizontal surfaces.
EDUCATION
10. EMOTION
DYNAMIC LIGHTING
Dynamic lighting that
allows for the modification
of the intensity and colour
temperature of the light
is highly beneficial for the
visual, psychological and
physiological wellbeing of
students.
It can be used to support the
functioning of the circadian
rhythm as well as improve
alertness, performance and
calm restless behaviour.

11. EMOTION
EMOTIONAL LIGHTING
Emotional lighting is stren-
gthened by the use of lighting
scenes that can be changed to
create a particular atmosphe-
re, such relaxing, motivational
or productive.
EDUCATION
12. EFFICIENCY
The task of modern lighting
technologies is to bring incre-
ased comfort and control to
users.
In schools, which use exten-
sive lighting systems, it is also
important to maximise ener-
gy and cost savings by ensu-
ring the used technologies
are also highly efficient end
effective.
EDUCATION
13. EFFICIENCY
PRESENCE DETECTOR
In schools, there are many
spaces that do not need to be
illuminated all the time.
By incorporating presence de-
tection into the control sys-
tem it is possible to benefit
from great savings.
EDUCATION
14. EFFICIENCY
CONSTANT ILLUMINATION
SENSOR
Constant illuminance sensors
ensure that the required
lighting conditions are
delivered over the full lifetime
of the lighting system,
regardless of inevitable
dirtying and degradation of
the luminaires.
Using these sensors can bring
energy savings of up to 20 %
during the first few years of a
lighting system's operation.

DAYLIGHT SENSOR
Daylight sensors enable
the lighting to adapt to the
amount of daylight available,
no matter what the time,
weather or season.
As levels of natural daylight
fluctuate, artificial lighting is
used to ensure the required
level of illumination.
