The Importance of Great Meeting Room Lighting—And How to Get It

Bring Energy & Vibrance to Your Office with a New Lighting Design 

Employers across the country are scrambling to make RTO (“return to the office”) a smooth transition for workers. Some are bringing new snacks into the office kitchen, while others offer a hybrid workweek.

But in our opinion, if you want people to love coming into the office, you need to create a comfortable and inspiring work environment. Alongside the furniture and wall colors you choose, meeting room lighting can make or break the experience of working for your company. 

With smart lighting control and a carefully planned lighting design, you’ll create an atmosphere that shakes the mundane and makes work an inspiring place for ideas and collaboration. Consider these factors for your Frisco, TX office’s lighting.

Light Fixtures That Complement the Room 

It’s time to move past planes of fluorescent lights on the ceiling. Instead, LEDs take form in recessed lights, pendants, and linear lighting for a dynamic design. Plus, LEDs can be intelligently controlled for a customizable appearance. 

Choose fixtures that will complement the room’s layout and arrangement. For example, if your meeting room table is round, consider how lights can accentuate the shape. If you’re unsure how to approach the space, a lighting designer can create an eye-catching interior for your business. 

Color Temperature for Energy & Productivity 

LED lights aren’t only more energy efficient. They can also be intelligently controlled by a smart lighting system like Lutron or Crestron. Through the system, you’ll fine-tune the color temperature and brightness of bulbs, so they appear bright white during the day to inspire energy and alertness. In the late afternoon, lights can automatically shift to a warmer color temperature for a comfortable ambiance. 

Flexible Automation & Control 

Smart lighting settings are only handy if it’s convenient and easy to use. In a Lutron or Crestron lighting system, you can access lights from a phone app, tablet, wall control panel, or keypad buttons with settings like “Meeting” or “Brainstorm” that instantly adjust lights and shades. 

You can also schedule lights to automatically power on and off at specified times, saving time and energy. And with a press of a button, you can alter the room’s lighting to look “just right” for every activity. 

Minimize Glare with Motorized Shades 

What about natural light? Integrate motorized shades into your lighting system to easily control when and where window shades open and close. Sunlight is proven to improve our moods, so let the daylight in with a press of a button or via an automated schedule. 

And when it’s time to watch a presentation in the conference room? In one command, drapes or shades will close, darkening the room. Shades can also lower once the sun strikes the window, reducing glare on computer screens. Sheer shades will still let ambient light in without harsh sun rays so that you can enjoy the sunshine without glare. 

Meeting room lighting can have a profound influence on our moods and productivity. Is your office ready for an upgrade? Contact Texadia Systems here or send us a message below to learn more about our smart lighting solutions. We look forward to working with you!
