What happens when you replace ordinary fluorescent tubes at work with light that comes close to natural sunlight? At Vzduchotechnik, a company based in Chrastava, they experienced it first-hand. Today, they cannot imagine going back to their original lighting.
Vzduchotechnik is a Czech manufacturing company with more than 60 years of tradition and a strong market position in air handling technology and industrial filtration. Two very different worlds meet on its premises every day: a busy production hall, where extractors, fans and custom metal products are made, and offices, where people spend long hours at their computers. That is why the company decided to focus on the conditions its employees work in throughout the entire working day. The goal was not just sufficient light, but a more pleasant atmosphere, greater support and comfort at work, and lower energy consumption.
As a result, Spectrasol pro-cognitive lighting was installed in eight offices as well as in the production areas. “At first, the transition was a little more difficult, because the light was more intense than the original lighting,” says Bohumil Malý, Head of Technology at Vzduchotechnik. The employees gradually got used to the change, and today they would not go back. “When you walk into a room with ordinary bulbs, the difference is huge.”
According to him, the new solution brings not only a more pleasant atmosphere, but also greater comfort at work. “Pro-cognitive lighting is considerably more pleasant, it doesn’t cause headaches or eye strain, and the overall atmosphere in the space feels more natural,” adds Bohumil Malý.
