A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON OFFICE LIGHTING
The atmosphere of architectural lighting.
The precision of workplace design.

It gives the workplace depth, direction and a sense of belonging.
Retail lighting knows how to create focus, reveal materials and give a space character. We bring that design thinking to the office — with the visual comfort, task lighting and documented performance that work demands.
Not dramatic contrast at the expense of a desk. A considered balance of light on the task, the surrounding space and the architecture.
Atmosphere, with a technical foundationAppropriate maintained illuminance where the work happens.
Light on walls, faces and circulation — not only horizontal surfaces.
Balanced luminance, material expression and scenes for changing activities.
THE DIFFERENCE IS THE LIGHTING STRATEGY.
A repeated ceiling grid can illuminate a workplace. A layered approach gives attention to the task, the walls, the meeting point and the room itself. See those two design directions in your supplied references.
From a repeated ceiling grid to identifiable places.
The reference repeats square panels across the ceiling. Light is organised primarily as an even, ceiling-led foundation around the desks.
The concept uses rings to mark shared places and spots to articulate walls and materials. The room has focal points and a more varied visual rhythm.
These are different rooms, materials and images. Their appearance illustrates design choices; it does not establish comparable lux, UGR, energy use or product performance. No colour filter has been applied to make the panel references look worse.
WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGES?
01 / FLO RUND
In the supplied concepts, circular pendants create a recognisable centre above meeting tables, shared settings and arrival spaces. Their form is part of the architecture; the required task light still needs verified distribution and calculation.
The ambition is useful task light with spatial depth and a clear control strategy. Panel lighting can also be comfortable, dimmable and wirelessly controlled. What matters is the complete design — not a blanket judgement about LED technology.
02 / LIGHT, IN YOUR HANDS
From heads-down focus to a shared conversation. Explore how a lighting strategy can respond to the way a space is used.
01 / AMBIENT
CHOOSE YOUR MOMENT
Prioritise the task area, control direct and reflected glare, and keep the surrounding space comfortably visible.
Image transitions and colour treatments communicate a concept. They do not predict lux, glare, colour temperature or actual product performance.
Build a lighting family around the room, the people and the work. Product selection follows verified photometry — never the photograph alone.
A coherent architectural layer for shared spaces, meeting settings and selected customer-facing zones. Start with the desired distribution and comfort — not simply the ring shape.
User-confirmed product-family name. The supplied interior images are concept references; current photometry, exact model, mounting and driver data still need verification.
Direct attention to a material, product or destination. Define the target surface, choose documented optics and assess glare from real viewing positions.
Five authentic product views. The exact optic, power, photometry, track compatibility and control driver must match the chosen variant; general marketing numbers are not variant guarantees.
ANOTHER WAY TO LIGHT THE WORKPLACE
A freestanding task-lighting option for changing layouts.
The supplied VIANOLUX “Fli / Floor” extract describes separately controlled diffuse uplight and concentrated downlight, with capacitive touch controls, PIR activation and a day–night function.
Supplier-stated UGR 13 is not a guarantee for an installed room. Exact variant, power, dimensions and Lumennor integration require confirmation. This is a supplier option, not an independently verified LYS-designed product.
View supplier extractChoose your environment. Explore how architectural light, practical visibility and a wireless-control brief can work together.
Start with the workplane, screens, faces and surrounding surfaces. Add atmosphere only after the actual task has been addressed.
Use FLO Rund as a proposed ambient and architectural layer. Verify light distribution and mounting for each chosen variant; the supplied interiors do not establish desk-lighting performance.
Use SPOT II for walls, arrivals and material expression. Keep intense accents out of screen reflections and normal viewing directions. It is not a substitute for the required desk-task layer.
Define workstation, meeting and circulation zones. Specify presence hold times, daylight setpoints, meeting scenes and a clear return from manual override to automation.
For writing, typing, reading and data processing: the base reference is 500 lx maintained, UGR ≤ 19 where applicable, U₀ ≥ 0.60 and Rₐ ≥ 80. Verify the whole scheme.
SPOT II + FLO RUND / TECHNICAL DATA
Published catalogue fields are separate from an approved orderable variant. UGR is not inferred from a product photo, a lux target or a dimmer percentage.
Source: LYS SPOT 2 public record ↗. Listed choices do not confirm the supplied combination. Confirm the model: record 1028 and the displayed SPOT II 1068 name are not reconciled.
Actual lumen package, dimensions, weight, driver model, track/adaptor, photometry and platform compatibility are not verified. The page labels 162 lm/W under “Lumen”; this is not an actual luminous flux or a guaranteed efficacy for the selected variant.
No numeric SPOT II UGR value, manufacturer UGR table or exact-optic photometric report is available here. Do not label this product UGR ≤ 19 without evidence.
No exact-name public FLO Rund record or manufacturer document was found in the checked LYS sources. The supplied circular-lighting interiors are visual references, not datasheets.
FLOD listings and the separate VIANOLUX Floor luminaire must not supply FLO Rund's dimensions, control features or glare values. A ring shape does not establish a light distribution or UGR class.
No numeric FLO Rund UGR value, manufacturer UGR table or photometric report is available here. Supply the exact model and optic documentation before publishing a glare claim.
READ THE GLARE EVIDENCE CORRECTLY
The UGR ≤ 19 reference belongs to the named office task. A manufacturer UGR table describes standardised arrangements and viewing conditions, not every installation. Mixed, aimed or non-standard layouts need an appropriate professional assessment of the actual geometry and observers.
UGR uses the luminance and apparent size of visible emitting surfaces, position relative to the observer, and background luminance. It addresses direct discomfort glare, not reflected screen glare or daylight glare. A maintained-lux calculation alone cannot establish UGR.
Obtain the exact variant and optic; versioned IES / LDT photometry; emitting-surface dimensions and relevant luminance data; manufacturer UGR table and its room reflectances, spacing, mounting and viewing assumptions; a project report with room, aiming and observer conditions; and driver/control compatibility.
This prepares a local text file or unsent email draft. It does not certify the product, create a UGR report or send the enquiry.
SPOT II + FLO RUND / THE LIFE-CYCLE BRIEF
Choose lighting for the years ahead. Plan to maintain, repair and reuse suitable equipment before considering recycling. A ring shape is not evidence of a circular product life cycle.
Plan cleaning, access and future layout changes. Reuse still needs a safety, compatibility and lighting-performance check.
Confirm driver and light-source replacement, qualified access, approved parts and availability. Do not infer serviceability from appearance.
Obtain dismantling instructions and an appropriate electrical-waste collection route. The complete fitting is more than its metal housing.
SPOT II / SPOT 2
The public record lists aluminium and a 50,000 h L80 LED-life statement. Neither proves recycled content, driver lifetime, a warranty or full-product recyclability.
Confirm for the selected variant: component breakdown, removable driver and LED module, access, spare parts, track/adaptor reuse and dismantling instructions.
Official product record ↗FLO RUND
The supplied ring-lighting concepts show an architectural direction. Material composition, serviceable components and a recycling route are not verified for the actual FLO Rund model.
Obtain a model-specific material breakdown, suspension and fixing details, driver and light-source replacement instructions, spare-parts terms and end-of-life guidance.
See the documentation status ↗Ask for the exact variant's component and material breakdown, who may service it, replacement-part availability, disassembly instructions and reuse conditions. Request any Environmental Product Declaration, life-cycle assessment, recycled-content evidence and take-back terms separately. None of those product-specific documents or services has been verified here for both families; no recycling or carbon-saving percentage is claimed.
EU ecodesign rules address replacement information and dismantling for containing products, with defined conditions and exceptions. They do not establish this model's serviceability. Arrange safe work and an appropriate electrical-waste route with the supplier and qualified service provider.

SPOT II / EXPLORE THE GEOMETRY
A narrower beam produces a smaller geometric footprint at the same distance. Use this tool to explore width — then use verified photometry to calculate illuminance and distribution.
The SPOT 2 record lists 18 W, track mounting, 15° / 24° / 36° beams, 355° rotation, 90° tilt, 2700 / 3000 / 3500 / 4000 K, CRI > 93, SDCM < 2 and IP20. This is catalogue-published information, not confirmation of the ordered combination. The current record identifier 1028 does not reconcile earlier SPOT II 1068 naming. Confirm the exact variant, driver and track.
Official product record ↗Diameter = 2 × distance × tan(angle ÷ 2). A flat plane perpendicular to the beam axis is assumed. This is not a lux calculation or hard beam boundary; real optics, aiming and beam definition matter. Listed optics still need selected-variant confirmation.
FROM PRODUCT TO PROJECT
A complete lighting guide needs to explain selection, aiming, control and verification. It cannot replace the exact product datasheet or the room calculation.
Download the complete guide ↓For SPOT II, obtain the exact optic's photometry and assess the target surface, aiming, distance, spill and the viewer's position. A narrower or wider beam is a design choice only when it is actually available for that variant. For FLO Rund, verify the distribution, direct/indirect contribution if applicable, output and glare behaviour rather than inferring them from a ring-shaped appearance.
Check track type, mechanical and electrical compatibility, mounting instructions, available adjustment and clearance for SPOT II. Check supported mounting and suspension, dimensions, ceiling construction and fixing loads for FLO Rund. Aim accents away from common lines of sight and screens. Use room geometry, reflectances and furniture in the lighting calculation.
Identify the dimmable driver, control interface, luminaire input and compatible wireless node. Confirm the actual Lumennor hardware and any bridge or gateway. Bluetooth, mesh, DALI, colour control, remote access and emergency-test functions are not inferred from the word wireless. A fixed-white luminaire cannot become tunable white through software alone.
Assign zones and scenes, set task-appropriate targets, test sensor coverage from the real desk or aisle, choose presence hold times and daylight setpoints, and agree manual-override expiry. Test communication loss and safe fallback. Save network ownership, configuration and a maintenance record; verify installed lighting and review it after furniture or merchandise changes.
04 / PEOPLE FIRST
Visual comfort is designed into the whole environment.
Look beyond a bright desktop. Control direct glare and screen reflections, balance luminance between the task and its surroundings, and give eyes a comfortable visual field.
Optics, luminaire position, viewing direction and room finishes all matter. Assess direct glare using UGR where applicable, and reflected glare at screens separately.
Daylight adds variation and connection to the outdoors. Combine shading and suitable dimming with electric light so that visibility remains appropriate as conditions change.
Carefully designed light can contribute to perceived comfort and a more pleasant working environment. It does not guarantee fewer headaches, less eye strain or a medical outcome.
EN 12464-1 addresses light for people at indoor workplaces. Start with the actual task. Then verify the whole installation.
At the task or activity area
Where the UGR method applies
Minimum / average illuminance
The base colour-rendering requirement
These are reference requirements for the named activity, not a claim that every office or luminaire is automatically compliant. The real task, context modifiers, national requirements and project brief govern the design.
Maintained illuminance means the level retained in service, not just when a scheme is new. Context such as small or low-contrast details, unusually long work, limited daylight or reduced visual capacity may justify a higher level. Appropriate modifier assessment can lead to 750 or 1,000 lx; neither is an automatic blanket minimum.
UGR depends on luminaire photometry and luminance, their positions, the room, observer direction and background luminance. A datasheet statement alone cannot certify the office. For screen-based work, direct and reflected glare and relevant luminaire-luminance limits must also be checked.
For a 500 lx task area, the immediate surroundings are 300 lx with U₀ ≥ 0.40, in a band at least 0.5 m wide. The associated background level is 100 lx. The office reference values also include 150 lx on walls, 100 lx on the ceiling and 150 lx maintained average cylindrical illuminance.
Applicable electrical safety, EMC and ecodesign obligations must be checked for the selected products and market. Request relevant declarations, installation instructions and current technical documentation. Product conformity and workplace-lighting performance are separate checks.

DESIGN FOR CHANGE
A dynamic wireless-control approach for the way buildings are used.
Explore Lumennor as the intelligent layer connecting lighting intent, zones and everyday use. Wireless control can reduce dependence on extra control cabling and make reconfiguration easier — with compatible luminaires, drivers and control components.
Wireless control does not mean wireless power. Mains supplies, installation requirements and suitable emergency lighting still apply. The studio below demonstrates a proposed strategy, not a connected Lumennor product or verified feature list.
Define zones around desks, displays or aisles — then revisit the control plan when the layout changes.
Combine suitable presence and daylight inputs with the actual lighting tasks and an agreed fallback.
Give users scenes and clear manual override, without leaving automation priorities unexplained.
LYS-supplied office concept reference
These example schedules are editable design scenarios, not fixed operating hours or a verified Lumennor scheduler.
SELECTED ZONE
Active minimum levels are invented demonstration rules, not workplace-lighting requirements or lux targets. “Absence” previews the response after an assumed hold time.
Demonstration scenario. No actual building commands.
LUMENNOR / B — DAYLIGHT & ZONE TESTBENCH
Choose a zone and adjust its own assumptions. Change the shared daylight input to see how window-side and deeper zones respond differently. The application follows the Office / Retail / Supermarket selector above.
Schematic zone plan only. No real dimensions, fixture positions or radio-coverage prediction.
500 lx example target
Vertical line: example target. Bar scale adapts to the current result.
Assumed zone daylight = shared input × zone exposure. Automatic electric demand = max(0, example target − daylight); command = demand ÷ assumed full-output electric contribution, capped at 100%. Electric contribution is assumed linear with command. Disabling daylight response keeps the electric request based on the full example target, while daylight still contributes to the displayed total. Absence with presence response requests an invented 10% standby after an assumed hold time. A zone's manual command overrides automatic requests without a hidden minimum. Insufficient capacity and targets exceeded by daylight are shown explicitly.
This is a static illustrative control test, not a closed-loop sensor model or a photometric calculation. It does not establish maintained illuminance, uniformity, UGR, screen reflections, actual luminaire output or electricity consumption. No UGR number can be inferred from these lux or dimmer values.
The selected scene supplies the initial request. Presence response can bring an absent zone to standby; daylight response reduces the scene request according to each zone's example weighting. A selected-zone manual override takes priority over these inputs. A demonstration-only minimum then limits low requests in occupied zones. This is our website's explicit teaching model, not Casambi's exact hierarchy or a claim about Lumennor firmware. No command percentage demonstrates EN 12464-1 compliance.
SPECIFY BEFORE YOU CONNECT
Confirm the luminaire variant, dimmable driver and control interface. Select compatible nodes, switches and sensors. Survey radio coverage and agree network ownership, security, commissioning access and behaviour if communication fails.
DESIGN THE WHOLE WORKFLOW
Record scenes, sensor hold times, daylight targets, manual-override duration and maintenance assumptions. Test the real workspace or shop floor. Verify any remote access, reporting or integrations separately; they may need additional components and services.
INDEPENDENT DESIGN REFERENCES
We take inspiration from sensor-led luminaire control and flexible wireless zoning. These references do not establish a Lumennor integration, partnership or certification.
EasyAir SNS212 MC includes occupancy and daylight sensing; SNS412 MC is a radio node without those integrated sensors. Capabilities, drivers and commissioning are model-specific.
Explore the reference ↗02 / CASAMBI OFFICEFlexible zones.Casambi describes wireless mesh control, scenes and suitable sensor strategies. Its control hierarchy explains how competing commands are resolved.
Explore the reference ↗LIGHT PLANNING TOOLEditable preliminary scenario
PRELIMINARY LUMEN METHOD
Set an editable room scenario and your own luminaire data to create a first fixture-count estimate before detailed lighting design.
N = ceil(E × A / (lumens × UF × MF))
Maintained average = N × lumens × UF × MF / A. Mounting height = ceiling height − workplane height. Room index = length × width / (mounting height × (length + width)).
UF and MF are your project assumptions, not a photometric lookup. Mounting height and room index are reported for reference only; this tool does not use them to infer UF. Daylight is not modelled.
Important: this is a generic, editable scenario using a preliminary lumen method. It is not a lux map and does not validate uniformity, UGR or EN requirements. Confirm the design with the relevant project data, photometry and competent lighting review.
Estimate lighting electricity use with assumptions you can change. This is a transparent planning tool, not a validated energy-saving claim.
INDICATIVE ANNUAL RESULT
Example inputs, not LYS product performance. No carbon claim or payback is calculated.
Baseline kWh = baseline installed kW × annual scheduled hours.
Proposed kWh = proposed installed kW × scheduled hours × time-required factor × average input-power factor.
Difference = baseline − proposed. Percentage difference = difference ÷ baseline × 100. Cost difference = kWh difference × electricity price.
The baseline assumes full installed power throughout the scheduled hours. The proposed scheme assumes zero power outside the time-required fraction. Factors may interact in reality; use measured profiles and include standby, cleaning, emergency, commissioning and maintenance effects in a project assessment. A lower-power scheme is only useful if it still meets the lighting requirements.
Each space asks for a different balance. Define the activity first, then its lighting and control requirements.
