FAQ

DIN EN 12464

Your school and daycare lighting
should meet these requirements

Discover and explore
Playroom
In kindergartens and preschools, good lighting is important to optimally promote children's exploration and discovery. This discovery is a visual task that can only take place with a balanced lighting concept. At least 300 lux and natural light from 4000 Kelvin are ideal for a positive learning climate in the group room. The cozy corner benefits from relaxing ambient lighting.

Classrooms
Classrooms in elementary and secondary schools should produce artificial lighting of at least 300 lux. In lecture halls, specialized classrooms or evening schools, illuminance should be at least 500 lux. A flexible lighting concept allows easy adaptation to changing learning and teaching situations.

Bright and uniform
Blackboard
In the area of the blackboard, the whiteboard or at demonstration tables, an illuminance of 500 lux or more is prescribed. It should be considered individually whether it is a classic blackboard or a modern, white projection surface, which gets by with significantly less light but is more susceptible to reflections.

Sanitary areas
Since sanitary areas are used less frequently than classrooms, automatic lighting control is advisable. This way, the lighting only switches on when it is needed and electricity costs are effectively reduced. Warm white light colors create a sense of well-being in sanitary facilities.

Expert tip

A universal solution is not suitable for your educational facilities. We recommend a flexible lighting concept consisting of individual solutions for each room and each activity. Our lighting experts will calculate for you individually what such a solution looks like for your school or daycare center.
