Modern offices have evolved into "second living spaces," where employees spend the most time. The quality of their lighting directly impacts work efficiency, physical and mental health, and corporate energy costs. Therefore, office lighting must be both bright and comfortable and energy-efficient.
A truly excellent LED office lighting solution, through appropriate LED lenses and sophisticated optical design, delivers three core advantages: visual clarity, visual comfort, and economic and environmental benefits.
Among Asahi's numerous indoor lighting lenses, the linear 1x3, 1x4, 1x7 series lenses are recommended for office lighting
Visual Clarity - Achieving a Bright Office Environment
Ensuring sufficient and even lighting at every workstation, eliminating shadows and dark areas on desks and screens, reducing visual fatigue, and improving reading and document processing efficiency.
- Highly Uniform Optical Design: Utilizing free-form optical technology and a large micro-structured diffuser, we achieve an illumination uniformity (U0) of >0.7, ensuring consistent, spotless lighting throughout the entire office area.
- Excellent Vertical Illumination: Optimized lens light distribution provides high desktop illumination (e.g., 500 lux) while enhancing vertical illuminance (Eh), creating a brighter and more open feeling and facilitating communication and whiteboard writing.
- Material and Craftsmanship Guarantee: Use of optical-grade PMMA/PC materials with high light transmittance (>92%) and low haze ensures maximum light output and a truly "bright" experience.
Visual Comfort - Creating a comfortable and healthy lighting environment
Protecting visual health, preventing headaches and eye fatigue caused by glare and flicker, and enhancing overall comfort and concentration by regulating circadian rhythms.
- Deep Anti-Glare Technology: Using secondary optical structures such as honeycomb grilles, microprisms, and black light cups, strict light control is achieved, keeping the Unified Glare Ratio (UGR) below 19 (compliant with EN 12464-1), effectively suppressing screen reflections and direct glare.
- Flicker-Free Driver Compatibility: Our optical lenses are perfectly matched with high-quality drivers, ensuring a lighting system flicker percentage (%Flicker) of less than 5%, well below the IEEE PAR1789 health standard, providing a stable light source.
- Cyclic Lighting Support: The optical solution supports light sources with high color rendering indices (CRI>90, R9>50), providing a solid optical foundation for future human-centric lighting with adjustable color temperature and natural light simulation.
Energy Efficiency - Achieving Sustainable Energy Saving
Improving energy efficiency can significantly reduce business operating costs and carbon footprints, while also meeting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals, achieving a win-win situation for both economic and environmental benefits.
- Efficient Light Utilization: Sophisticated optical design (such as TIR technology) can increase the light energy utilization of LEDs to over 95%, far exceeding the 70-80% of traditional reflector solutions. This means fewer lamps and lower wattage are required to achieve the same lighting effect.
- Long Life and Low Maintenance: High-temperature and aging-resistant optical materials ensure minimal light degradation and high output over a lifetime of up to 50,000 hours (L90B50 > 50,000 hours), significantly reducing replacement and maintenance costs.
A professional LED office lighting solution is more than a simple equipment upgrade. It's a long-term investment in employee health and productivity.
Asahi Optics works closely with lighting manufacturers to transform advanced optical designs into superior, mass-producible products, jointly shaping the future of office lighting.
