What is the recommended lux level for office lighting?

Yakeen Lighting provides office lighting at 300–500 lux for standard workstations, 500–750 lux for precision tasks, and 150–200 lux for corridors — per EN 12464-1 international standards.

Office lighting levels are governed by EN 12464-1 (European standard, widely adopted internationally). Recommended lux levels by area:

  • General office workstations: 500 lux at desk level (0.75m height)
  • Technical drawing / CAD: 750–1000 lux for precision work
  • Conference rooms: 300–500 lux with dimming for presentations
  • Corridors and circulation: 150–200 lux for safe movement
  • Reception areas: 200–300 lux for a welcoming but professional environment
