Office lighting can follow you home, not just in your head. Blue-rich light at night can suppress melatonin by around 85% and shift your body clock by about 90 minutes.

For workplaces, it is not only about avoiding glare. A study of office daylight found people slept about 46 minutes longer with window and natural light access.

At 299 Lighting, we help teams specify circadian-aware designs, including melanopic targets and tunable transitions for the evening.

A showroom visit lets you see what numbers on a lighting calculation can’t always show: atmosphere, glare control, colour temperature, scale and the feeling of a space. This autumn, we’re inviting project teams to experience workplace lighting beyond the spreadsheet.

Is your office lighting spec really just a visibility decision? Evidence says light also tunes alertness, reaction time, and working memory via the non-visual pathway to the brain’s circadian clock.

For example, one hour at 40 lux of blue light at 470nm delivered alerting effects comparable to 240mg of caffeine in a reaction test. That is why 299 Lighting helps teams translate melanopic content, glare control, and tunable white into practical specifications.

🚨 CASE STUDY ALERT! 🚨

In Central London, workplaces have to work harder than ever to attract and retain occupiers.

That’s exactly why projects like Glen House are so interesting 💡

The lighting needed to support a premium office environment while helping create spaces where people feel comfortable, productive and connected.
In a city with some of the most competitive office space in the country, every design decision matters. Lighting isn’t just about visibility, it’s about creating an experience.

Because when people enjoy being in a space, great work follows ✨

Winter workplace lighting is not just a comfort issue, it can affect wellbeing and productivity.

SAD symptoms often peak between November and February, and research highlights how timing and light dose matter. Clinical bright light therapy uses 30 minutes of 10,000 lux in the early morning, while for offices the key is getting the melanopic content right, not just photopic lux.

299 Lighting helps specifiers translate circadian metrics into practical UK lighting design. Read the full guide:

Could your office lighting be quietly overwhelming neurodivergent colleagues?
Around 15-20% of the global population are neurodivergent, and in a team of 50 that can mean 7 to 10 people experiencing light as intrusive or distressing.

In the guide, we break down practical specs like SVM ≤ 0.2 for priority spaces and how to avoid uniform 400-500 lux open-plan layouts by using varied zones and control.

🌶️🍝LITE BITES EP 8 - EARLY INVOLVEMENT🍝🌶️

Lighting should never be an afterthought.
Bringing lighting design in early means:

• Better coordination
• Smarter layouts
• More efficient solutions

It also avoids costly changes later on.
When

lighting is part of the conversation from day one, it can be properly integrated with ceilings, furniture layouts, finishes, controls, and the overall design intent.

It means fewer last-minute compromises and a scheme that feels more intentional, comfortable, and aligned with the way the space will actually be used.

We work closely with designers and architects from the start to make sure lighting is considered, not compromised.

Could your lighting design create an avoidable risk for someone with photosensitive epilepsy?

About 600,000 people in the UK have epilepsy, and up to 1 in 4,000 have photosensitive epilepsy (PSE), where flicker and high contrast patterns can trigger seizures. The Harding-equivalent approach is clear: keep flashing within 3 Hz and control luminance change, and remember that 50 Hz mains and poorly driven LEDs can still fall in the sensitive zone.

At 299 Lighting, we help teams specify low flicker performance, use DALI or 0-10V dimming (not phase-cut), and document results for O&M.
