Selection of lighting on the facility, is  the decision which is influenced by various factors. Many specialists are involved from the start in the design process, and thus appears quite a number of different ideas of specification, until the time when the object is already is in use.

The main task of these installations was, to create a healthy and stimulating environment, with more light, with maximum reduced consumption el. Energy. During planning all the modern technologies were taken into account and the approach was based on the recommendations of the recent revision of the standard: Lighting- Lighting fo working places-part 1.: Indoor working areas, with particular emphasis on the distribution of brightness in the room, and to achieve high levels of cylindrical illumination, in order to obtain maximum visual performance, low fatigue and load of the user space.

Clean lines, simple minimalist design of the lamps, diffuse light-characteristics, it is a central feature of the project lighting of Kindergarten and Elementary School Vrbani. With these lighting installations we pointed out that, if the room is enlightened in the right way, you will get a  work environment where people feel comfortable and think better, and here the case is primarily about the children, and they deserve the maximum attention, they deserve an investment from us.

Kindergarten lighting

In all areas combined, kindergarten + crib, all lamps contain electronic ballasts. In the hallways, as well as the main hall, are installed round luminaries with opal diffuse optics, in different diameters, in order to break the monotony of space, and combining bright and cheerful interior colors to get a playful installation. Because the architecture allows plenty of daylight In the living room, and playrooms, large rectangular skylights are designed to correct the symmetry of luminaries, in square forms with a low profile (height of the lamps themselves), opal diffuse optics, which were ideal, neutral, and fit the interior.

As the room is filled with a large amount of natural daylight, and the very purpose of the spaces (playgrounds, etc.) defines high activity and productivity, we designed a lamp with a fluorescent light sources T5 technology,  4000K color temperature, high color rendering.  With  proper  symmetrical layout and selected optics of the lamps, balance of brightness and high uniformity of illumination in all elements of space (floor, walls, ceiling) are obtained and the shadows are eliminated, resulting in a healthy, open environment.

In offices, living rooms, rooms and other work areas the lighting is designed with direct light emission characteristic, opal diffuse optics, to meet the technical- light conditions, in other words to reduce glare, and create a pleasant working atmosphere. The lamps are designed with fluorescent light sources with T5 technology, color temperature 4000K, high color rendering.

Lighting of the Elementary School Vrbani

In all rooms in Elementary School Vrbani, all lamps contain electronic ballasts. In the corridors and lounges, round luminaires  are designed with direct / indirect emission of light flow ratio (↓ 74% ↑ 26%), opal diffuse optics, to meet the high uniformity of illumination space to the floor, and the walls and the ceiling, according to the definitions of new norms. In this way, we have achieved a bright, visual flow, communication along the entire facility. Trough the core of the facility, central hall is dominated by suspension cylindrical lamps with frosted opal acrylic diffuser with diffuse light characteristics in all directions, which are suspended at different heights in an irregular schedule. With this installation, we illuminated the entire volume of the central hall.

As the room is filled with a large amount of natural, daylight, and the purpose of the room is defining high activity and productivity, we designed a lamp with a fluorescent light sources T5 technology, color temperature 4000K with high color rendering.

With proper symmetrical layout and selected optics for the lamps, high uniformity of illumination in all elements of space is obtained  as well as the balance of brightness. In this way the shadows are eliminated, resulting in a healthy and cheerful environment.

Classrooms, laboratories and offices are designed with high-performance suspension lamps with direct / indirect light distribution having the characteristics in the ratio ↓ 47.0% ↑ 53.0%, what has achieved a high uniformity of illumination of the room area and high cylindrical illumination, in order to obtain maximum visual performance, low-fatigue and load of the user space. With this kind of installation of lighting we wanted to avoid that students, who constantly are changing points of interest within the classroom (desk, blackboard, wall with panels, other students...) feel eye fatigue and the need of adaptation of the eye to other levels of brightness, when looking trough the room.
