Workplace and office lighting

Lux, glare, circadian claims and meeting rooms — how Australian offices actually get lit under AS/NZS 1680.

Office floors lit at dusk, seen from outside

Australian office lighting is no longer a row of T8 battens and a complaint about flicker. It is a stack of visual comfort, energy, controls and the occasional wellness brochure. This hub is for people who have to sign a specification, not a mood board.

The same desks show up in NCC Section J and in NABERS and Green Star. If you only came here from a product page, go back to the article archive and read a whole essay.
