Users are at the heart of contemporary office concepts and hence interior design and office lighting. Intelligent lighting solutions help to increase people's sense of well-being, to create identity and at the same time cut costs. Lighting solutions by Zumtobel create working conditions that make people feel good, thus motivating them and helping them concentrate on doing their job.

Shopping is increasingly becoming a leisure activity that is influenced by centre-stage lighting solutions. Light is used in order to arouse emotions and create brand identities. When used intelligently, light has the potential to stimulate the propensity to purchase and boost sales. Zumtobel lighting solutions strike a perfect balance between lighting quality and energy efficiency.

A good hotel is a home from home. The way in which rooms are designed with materials, colours and light make a decisive contribution towards feeling at ease. Light that welcomes guests and caters for their desires and moods at the press of a button leaves guests with fond memories. It gives guests the impression of being valued, while saving energy and hence the environment.

Using daylight, creating lighting scenes, setting accents. The task of light for art and culture is to illuminate works of art in a multifaceted, but gentle, manner and to lend structure to exhibitions. Choice lighting solutions by Zumtobel have features that are important for conservational lighting.

Only through light can art truly become an experience. The perfect presentation of paintings, photographs, sculptures and archaeological artefacts requires a deep understanding of the respective space, the medium and the curatorial theme. Effective lighting concepts follow the planning principles of museum lighting. A successful lighting design will encompass the four dimensions of light – direction, intensity, colour and time – to create a fascinating single entity.

Light and colour play an important role in promoting health: Dynamic room scenes that mimic natural lighting conditions can enhance a sense of well-being and assist convalescence. Intelligent lighting management systems combined with flexible lighting solutions make it possible to simulate daylight-like lighting that is in harmony with human biorhythms.

Eyesight usually deteriorates markedly in old age. Consequences include reduced perception of depth and colour and poorer eye accommodation. A professional lighting solution that can be adapted to suit such circumstances can significantly improve quality of life in care facilities. It takes into account the fact that older people generally require more light and their increasing sensitivity to glare.

The right lighting at the workplace helps to enhance staff members’ performance and motivation as well as their sense of well-being – this applies to shift workers in large industrial bays as well as to specific manufacturing areas. Used properly, an advanced lighting solution helps to optimise conditions at workstations in manufacturing bays, increasing motivation and preventing fatigue and, thus, industrial accidents.

Intelligent machines are increasingly replacing manual labour, yet people are still crucial when it comes to quality control. Why is that? The human eye has the unique capacity to check for subtle flaws and irregularities on different surfaces. However, detailed inspections can only be performed effectively in optimal ambient conditions – making quality lighting an essential part of quality control.

Frequently, logistics halls comprise enormous cubic content, and accordingly the energy requirement for lighting is very high. Therefore, energy efficiency is one of the core topics, also – especially the daily operating costs. There is a huge saving potential by upgrading your old lighting installation to the latest lighting technology, in terms of both energy costs and maintenance. The added value of a new lighting solutions is based on the benefits provided by innovative luminaires and intelligent lighting control: LED luminaires open up a new dimension in terms of durability, reliability and efficiency. Higher illuminance levels and improved glare control enhance the employees' productivity and helps avoid errors.

Industrial luminaires have to resist dust, oils and lubricants every day, particularly when it comes to metal working. However, often the height of the applications means that they are rarely cleaned. As a result, the luminaires have to rely on special design principles and materials if they still want to provide an optimum performance in demanding environments. It goes without saying that industrial luminaries from Zumtobel have a higher degree of protection. Specially designed surfaces make it hard for dirt and foreign bodies to stick to them, reducing the cleaning work to a minimum. Luminaires made of PMMA are also resistant to aggressive cleaning agents, oils and lubricants.

Zumtobel wants to give people their nocturnal environment back by supporting the optimum quality of life and human experience. We offer a highly versatile toolbox of light, which empowers our partners to enhance outdoor spaces and architecture with thoughtful, adaptive, multi-layered lighting concepts that are tailored to human needs – solutions that model the space precisely with the right quality of light in the right place at the right time.

At any time of day or night, lighting management systems provide perfect light as required. This is ensured by various components such as daylight sensors, presence detectors, blinds control systems and easy-to-use control units. In both small and large buildings, intelligent control systems save energy and enhance people's sense of well-being.

Emergency lighting is more than just a legal requirement. Providing reliable assistance in the event of an emergency demonstrates a clear sense of responsibility – towards employees, property and the environment. And in everyday life, discreet design and creative integration guarantee lighting that is pleasing to the eye.
