Because the first impression counts.

School facilities come under scrutiny when selecting the school for our children. And as result of this, education estates are constantly on a lookout to improve their facilities, all in a bid to attract the best talent and employees, whilst raising the profile of their establishment. Reception areas, foyers and auditoriums are often the most prestigious spaces in school environment. Well designed architectural lighting can significantly raise the perception of the space and its quality. Large feature lighting, linear lighting systems or eye catching decorative feature lighting-  Lighting is a long term investment that creates the lasting impressions.

The right lighting brings enormous benefits.

Environmental sustainability is on top of everyone's agenda. Large education estates are investing into efficient lighting, with lighting controls and sensors being the smart way of running lighting without wasting energy.

Correctly specified products can bring long term savings, where light output is selected to match the function of the space. The contribution good lighting makes to the bottom line cannot be underestimated. It helps create a positive image of the school, adds to the aesthetic, creates a sense of space and gives reassurance about security.

High visual comfort  should come first.

Lighting is one of the key factors affecting visual comfort and the wellbeing of staff and pupils in educational settings. Well specified led lighting for schools will impacts levels of concentration and feeling of wellness. 

Over the years, teaching methods have changed considerably, with technology and screens now being a central feature in every classroom.  Selecting the right light fittings with good light distribution and diffusers to reduce glare are a good starting point when designing lighting for education facilities.
