In a nutshell
Meeting rooms benefit from dimmable, zoneable lighting for different uses such as presentations or video calls. Reception areas can be more inviting, but should still illuminate workspaces without glare.
Meeting rooms and reception areas shape a company's image. Lighting there should not only be functional, but also create atmosphere, professionalism, and orientation.
Meeting Rooms

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is dimmable lighting useful in meeting rooms?
Because different situations, such as presentations with a projector or normal discussions, require different brightness levels.
How much warmer can reception lighting be than office lighting?
A noticeably warmer light color is common and appears more inviting, as long as the workspace at the reception remains sufficiently bright.
What special considerations are there for video conferencing rooms?
Even, glare-free light without strong contrasts ensures a better picture and better speech intelligibility during calls.
