 Visual Performance Visual performance is a fundamental visual function by means of which animate and inanimate objects are seen. This function is largely made possible by providing minimum illuminance and sufficient glare limitation. Simple lighting systems allow basic visual performance. |
 Visual Comfort Harmonious luminance distribution in
the rooms to be lit is of central
importance. This does not entail
uniform illumination of complete
rooms but targeted lighting of individual
areas of a room, for example, walls and
work areas. In addition, in order to
provide maximum visual comfort, colour
rendition level 1A or 1B should be
selected. |
 Ambience In today's world, lighting moods and the
associated ambience are becoming
increasingly important. The customer's
desire to remain unique means that the
designer has to focus more on luminous
colour, light direction and shadow. We
look to daylight for inspiration: an
ambience that increases motivation
and promotes positive feelings.

In order to conclusively transpose the
orientation on daylight to artificial light
qualities, the demands we have are
oriented on the following self-imposed
directives:
- A balance of direct and indirect,
focussed and diffuse components
of light
- Dynamics of light that are oriented
on the course of daylight and thus
on human biorhythm with respect to
intensity, balance, direction and colour, with the emphasis on
working areas
- Variable working light requirements from 500 to at times even 1200 or 2000 lux, for the promotion of health and the increase in job-satisfaction and productivity
- Dynamic light that is oriented on the circadian rhythm
