Office Ranges

12 office product options

Linear

Stream suspended direct indirect linear luminaire

Stream is a direct/indirect linear LED luminaire, designed for architectural and commercial applications requiring balanced illumination. Featuring a 75:25 light distribution ratio, Tridonic high-efficiency LEDs, and an efficacy of up to 130 llm/tcW, it delivers long-lasting, energy-efficient performance

Downlights

Aero IP54 LED downlight

The Aero is a compact, IP54-rated downlight designed for commercial applications. Its low-glare specular reflector and SMD LED technology, powered by Tridonic, provide efficient, comfortable illumination

Project Support

LED ceiling lights and luminaires for office workspaces.

Workspace use and ceiling type help separate LED panel lights, recessed or suspended linear luminaires, ceiling downlights, emergency light fittings and control-ready commercial lighting products.

Luminate / Custom tunable white

Luminate tunable-white
office lighting.

Where an office brief calls for changes in white light through the day, coordinate the luminaire configuration with the control strategy.

Luminate offers tunable white as a custom build. Confirm the required colour-temperature range and compatible controls with the project specification.

Specifier-Led Selection

Office lighting requirements: task illumination, ceilings and controls.

Commercial office lighting requirements change with desk layouts, screen use, ceiling height, working conditions, operating hours, colour temperature, energy efficiency, emergency provision and controls.

Office luminaires selected around glare, ceiling type and controls.

LED office lights, linear luminaires, panels and downlights each have a different relationship to general lighting, glare, light distribution, ceiling cut-outs, service access and control gear.

Workplace use, lux and lumen output

Desk layout, screen use and task-plane targets shape the required lumen output. A neutral 4000K is commonly considered for desks; warm white may suit reception or breakout areas. A UGR19 product description does not establish the room's glare result: check the selected optic, output, positions and viewing directions using the relevant photometry.

Ceiling
Mounting and service access

Confirm the grid module or cut-out, body depth, driver space and maintenance access. A nominal 600 × 600 panel is not a 600 × 600 body: Luminate measures 589 × 593 × 100 mm. Surface frames, plasterboard kits and suspension accessories require the correct product-specific arrangement.

Controls
DALI, Casambi and sensors

The driver and control comparison separates DALI, Casambi, local dimming and fixed output. Specify sensors, daylight response and emergency testing separately; confirm compatible gear, available wiring and zones before ordering.

Evidence
LED energy efficiency and circularity

LED load, operating hours, controls, product information and circularity evidence allow an office refurbishment to be assessed beyond first cost.

Commercial Applications

Choose office lighting around the ceiling and room.

Panels, recessed linear luminaires, suspended fittings and downlights serve different ceiling conditions. Compare the mounting, optic and output for each desk, meeting, reception or circulation area; confirm illumination and glare against the actual layout.

Ceiling grid

For open-plan desks under a compatible modular ceiling, compare the slim edge-lit Edge-Lite panel with Luminate's direct / indirect panel. Check actual body dimensions, the driver position and the ceiling system before selecting the mounting kit.

Recessed linear

Path recessed linear lighting offers a low-glare diffuser option for desk and meeting areas with a suitable ceiling opening. Check cut-out, void depth, length and access; a recessed fitting cannot be selected from ceiling height alone.

Exposed ceiling

Luma suspended dark-light linear lighting is an option for exposed soffits and meeting rooms. Confirm the suspension positions, finished mounting height, optic, output and ceiling fixing arrangement alongside the room's glare and scene requirements.

Reception & support

Compare Halo thin-bezel downlights for reception, circulation and support rooms. Check cut-out, recessed depth, IP requirement and distribution. For an existing office, the office LED upgrade guide covers replacement and retained-ceiling considerations.

Specification Questions

Practical office lighting questions.

LED panels or linear lights for an office?

LED panels suit compatible ceiling grids; recessed linear lights need a suitable ceiling opening and void depth. Surface-mounted and suspended linear luminaires provide alternatives for solid ceilings and exposed soffits. Compare the exact mounting arrangement, optic, output and driver, then check glare and illuminance in the room rather than choosing by wattage alone.

Which luminaires are commonly used for commercial office lighting?

Office projects commonly combine low-glare LED panels, linear luminaires, downlights and suspended fittings across desk areas, meeting rooms, reception, circulation and support spaces.

How does commercial office lighting differ from a domestic ceiling light?

Office selections are based on workspace activity, ceiling conditions, glare, output, controls and any emergency scope. Domestic and commercial luminaires can share formats, so confirm the selected luminaire's published data and project requirements before specifying it.

How should glare be considered for office lighting?

Glare control is governed by the luminaire optic, output, mounting position, room layout and viewing direction. Screen-based desk areas and meeting rooms should be considered separately from circulation and back-of-house spaces.

Which LED lighting is suitable for offices?

LED lighting for offices commonly combines low-glare LED panels, recessed or suspended linear luminaires and commercial downlights. Ceiling type, task area, glare requirement, controls and emergency provision determine the appropriate product family.

Can office lighting include DALI, Casambi and sensors?

Yes, where the selected luminaires use the appropriate drivers and control gear. DALI, Casambi, occupancy sensors and daylight response should be specified as separate control arrangements.

Can emergency lighting be coordinated with office luminaires?

Emergency products, exit signs and conversions can be scheduled alongside the normal office lighting. Testing method, indicator position and access should be confirmed with the relevant product options.

Should every office area have an identical lighting arrangement?

No. Open-plan desks need consistent low-glare task lighting, meeting rooms benefit from scene control, and reception areas can use more focused architectural lighting. Each zone should be specified around its activity, ceiling type and control requirements.
