features of lighting corridors and stairs
Regardless of the type of layout of office buildings, a considerable part of their area is allocated to corridors that serve to connect different rooms and zones with each other.
If the corridors are integrated with an open layout (that is, they are essentially passages between rows of workplaces), they can be distinguished, for example, by track lights with a wide opening angle or linear pendant lights - such solutions will emphasize the main trajectory of a person's movement.
If we are talking about lighting closed corridors, it is necessary to take into account their geometric features. So, for example, linear pendant lights visually increase the length of the corridor, but at the same time “make” it more “cramped”, and also underestimate the ceiling. The transverse arrangement of light lines, on the contrary, visually expands the dimensions of the illuminated space. You can visually raise the ceiling through the use of reflected light systems.
One of the universal and, perhaps, the most common solutions for lighting corridors is the use of downlights. However, when choosing fixtures of this type, it is necessary to carefully monitor the light distribution of devices - narrow light beams can create an uneven distribution of light.
On the walls of the corridors there are often image posters, photographs of the company's iconic projects, key employees or other elements of visual communication - they can be additionally highlighted using lighting devices with asymmetric optics, wallwashers or accent lighting devices.
