Project Room Workstation Light Control for Showrooms
Layer room and task light to reduce screen reflections and support focused work through the day.
Explore the ideas
Plan in this order
- Map daylight direction and monitor position before choosing task lighting.
- Put controllable task light on the side that does not cast the user's hand shadow.
- Separate work lighting from ambient lighting so each can be adjusted.
Worked example
Imagine a programmer switching between a monitor and handwritten notes as daylight shifts across the desk.
Keep the monitor out of the direct window reflection and provide separately controlled task lighting for paper. Test the controls from the seated position and avoid glare on glossy surfaces.
How to test it
Check the screen and paper surface at the workstation during different daylight conditions.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Place the room off the consultation zone with storage for active project materials nearby.
- Detail
- Use a large shared table, writable surface, and controllable light that supports both screen and paper review.
- Trade-off
- A dedicated room improves focus but removes flexible sales-floor space.
- Spread a typical plan and samples on the table
- Check screen glare and door privacy
