Feel-good light for explorers.

Light in the daycare center has to fulfil a wide range of different, sometimes seemingly contradictory, tasks.

Additional planning information

Pay attention to these aspects:

  • Warm white light (approx. 3,000 K ) promotes well-being.
  • High color rendering makes painting, crafting, and puzzling easier.
  • Diffuse covers minimize glare when looking upwards.
  • Adjustable lighting: Flexible light levels for sleeping, playing and crafting.
  • Save energy: Pre-set light scenes and daylight-dependent control.
  • No floor or desktop luminaires in daycare centers – risk of tipping over and injury!
