To Create a More Enticing Workplace, Replace Those Fluorescent Lights

Time to Upgrade to Lighting Control and Design?

To attract talent, more businesses than ever are reconsidering their office design. From room layouts to desk arrangements, many companies are striving to create a more collaborative environment to bring the “WFH” workforce back into the office. 

If you’re undergoing an office renovation, there’s one key component that can’t be ignored: lighting. In a competitive hiring market, employees want to spend time in attractive spaces that lead to more satisfaction and productivity. Rows of uncomfortable fluorescent lighting won’t cut it anymore. 

Smart lighting and shading offer a convenient, automated way to transform the atmosphere of your Dallas, TX business. You can activate lights and shades wirelessly and even remotely from the same smart system that controls your conference room AV.

Let Light Boost Morale 

Lighting has been proven to impact our moods and even productivity. If your staff associates the office with a pleasant, inspiring atmosphere, they’ll more likely feel committed to your company and perform their best.

How does smart lighting enhance moods? Tunable LED lights allow you to adjust their color temperature and brightness to replicate sunlight indoors. For the best ambiance, we recommend using bright, cool light in the morning, like a clear blue sky. But by the evening, lights can gradually shift to warmer tones. In the winter, when days are shorter, it will feel more comfortable to have soft, golden light rather than bright lights as the sun sets. 

Across the office, different color temperatures can prove useful. Break rooms and meeting areas should use warmer lights for a more intimate setting. Brainstorming rooms and conference spaces should use cool-toned lighting to boost alertness. And with motorized shades, you can automatically harvest natural light across the office through one command.

Conserve Energy While Saving Time 

Smart lighting and shading also help your business save time and energy. For instance, schedule lights to turn on and off automatically at specified times through your control system interface. You can also incorporate motion or light sensors, so lights are only powered on when you need them. 

Additionally, insulated motorized shades can lower just as the sun strikes the window, keeping rooms cooler. You’ll rely less heavily on the AC system and can share your eco-friendly initiatives with the building. 

Controlling Smart Lighting & Shading

With a smart control system like Crestron or Lutron, you can automate your business’s lights and shades to activate and adjust on their own. In fact, no one will have to turn on the lights in the morning or manually dim the lights. It happens independently! 

But if you’re in the conference room and want to close the floor-to-ceiling drapes and dim the lights, it can be done with a single command. Texadia Systems installs custom wall keypads with buttons personalized to your needs. Tap a “Meeting” button, and your preferred settings will initiate. You can also adjust lighting on a touchscreen control panel, either mounted on the wall or propped on the table.
