Lighting
to inspire people at work
When it’s done right, lighting can make your workplace come to life.
Have you ever noticed how cheerful and energized you get when the sun finally breaks
through after a stretch of cloudy days? Like natural daylight, good indoor lighting can
also give you a boost and provide inspiration. And when you feel inspired, you can be
more effective.
The lights in your home probably reflect your personal taste – elegant, casual, maybe a
little funky. Now lighting at work can be as creative and functional as your lights at home,
thanks to the alliance between Steelcase and Lightolier. Lightolier’s extensive product line
complements Steelcase and Details task lighting offerings, and that means more options.
No matter how the furniture and architecture around you are laid out, there’s a lighting
solution that will fit you.
Ambient, task and accent lighting each serve unique purposes in a workspace and together
they create a beautiful synergy.
An ambiance that energizes.
You can thrive under indirect ambient
lighting. Its unobtrusive presence has a
calming energy that allows you to
concentrate on your work, not your lighting.
Direct. Bright. Bold.
When you want clarity, direct ambient lighting
helps you get it. Accent lighting, which
illuminates smaller areas, provides an added
flair. Together, they can create a unique and
dynamic place.
Accentuate the positive.
Accent lighting can exude a quiet energy or
create drama, depending on how it’s used.
And it can foster a warm and inviting
atmosphere that brings people together.
The task at hand.
If you’re going to work your best, you should
have relaxed, comfortable eyes. One solution?
Task lighting. As daylight and ambient light levels
change throughout the day, you can easily adjust
your task lights to keep your focus.
Seeing the Light in the Workplace
Here. There. Everywhere.
Keep it in focus.

2 Task lighting helps you highlight your work surface and the task
be wall-, pendant- or stanchion-mounted, which means that no
matter where you need light, you can get it. Direct ambient lighting,
such as recessed fluorescent luminaires, shines downward and
can boldly brighten an area. This works best in community spaces
and collaborative work areas. Indirect ambient lighting, on the
other hand, directs light upward so it reflects off the ceiling and
creates a softer, more diffused glow – perfect for areas with
computer monitors. When the two forms of lighting are combined,
direct-indirect ambient lighting is ideal in any work area.
at hand. As ambient light levels are lowered to reduce energy
consumption and minimize computer screen glare, task lighting can
supplement where more light is needed. Task lighting can mount on
panels, under binder bins or remain freestanding, and easily adjusts
to fit your personal preferences.

3 Accent lighting directs your attention toward specific areas. It can
balance uniform ambient lighting by brightening shaded corners,
accenting architectural features or creating an illuminated path to
draw you through an area. This finishing touch can add drama to your
workplace, and is especially appreciated in areas without natural light.

Simply put, lighting controls allow you the
freedom to personalize your space. Light
levels can be adjusted with dimmers to
accommodate your preferences and create
the best possible setting for your work. And,
occupancy sensors eliminate the need to
manually control lighting, thereby reducing
energy consumption.
Here’s a small sampling of the
lighting we offer. We’ve got more
– thousands more. Explore the
endless possibilities.
