How to Increase Workplace Productivity with Lighting Control Systems
Light Plays a Critical Role in the Work Environment
Do you feel sluggish in the morning? When you open the shades to the Texas sun, the light is bound to energize you. Natural light is a powerful agent that plays a crucial role in our daily rhythms. Yet surprisingly few workplaces take advantage of different types of light and use little creativity in the way light is managed.
Good lighting design and control can transform a workplace from drab and boring to dynamic and energizing. In the same way that you arrange your home environment for comfort and efficiency, lighting can contribute heavily to workplace satisfaction and productivity. Keep reading below to learn how lighting control systems can revitalize your Rio Grande Valley workplace.

Human-Centric Lighting
Many office environments still rely on fluorescent lighting. It’s inexpensive, easy to replace, and is relatively energy efficient. But cold fluorescent lighting does not create a welcoming environment. Human-centric lighting adapts lighting to the needs of people. Tunable white lighting allows for changes in the hue of white light to better suit the time of day and space, and it blends indoor lights seamlessly with the sun's natural light where there are windows. Human-centric lighting is precisely dimmable so that your staff has neither too much nor too little ambient light. It can reduce glare from screens, reduce eye-strain, and create a more relaxed ambiance in common areas like kitchens and break rooms. Flicker-free, infinitely adjustable, quality light creates an inviting environment for getting work done.
Smart Control
Just because you orient your lighting to a people-centric environment doesn’t mean you can’t have efficient and centralized control. Digital lighting control lets you precisely monitor usage, turn off lights when they’re not needed, and precisely control the lighting environment throughout the day. IoT-based systems can allow for local control of tasks and other lighting by your staff to better tailor the illumination to their environment. At the same time, digital control still provides for centralized management for energy-efficiency and sustainability.
Lighting control is a centerpiece of today's smart buildings and campuses. It can accomplish three goals that improve your properties: create a healthy and welcoming people-centric work environment, provide tools for energy-efficient lighting management, and provide insights into space utilization to optimize your spaces.
