Additional planning information

Pay attention to these aspects:

  • Controllable lighting: Central control directly at the speaker’s desk.
  • Precise light distribution: Clear illumination of stairs and walkways without spill light.
  • Wallwasher: Uniform, bright light for the stage and presentation area.
  • Glare-free light for students: Allows note-taking without scattered light on the screen.
  • Plan emergency exit luminaires for safety.
