Education and Classroom Lighting
Like many spaces, schools and campuses require lighting that is energy efficient, durable, easy to maintain, and flexible in style. Our luminaires contribute to productive learning environments across the country in classrooms, cafeterias, residence halls, corridors, academic offices, exterior walls, and athletics spaces.

Classroom Lighting Needs

Classroom Lighting
The activities that occur within the classroom space have evolved with the adoption of technology and pedagogy styles. Rather than simply provide task lighting bright enough for students to work with pencil and paper, classroom lighting now needs to work with projection equipment, screen glare, and multi-purpose activities. Visa Lighting's direct/indirect luminaires help support those busy areas.
What Type Of Lighting Is Best For Schools?
LED lights are the best man-made lights for the classroom, but they can not beat natural light. Natural light is the best and most important light to incorporate in the classroom. Natural sunlight provides physical and physiological benefits to both students and teachers alike. Sun in the classroom can improve the health and concentration of students.
Classrooms with more windows or windows that are not covered are inexpensive ways to incorporate natural light in the classroom and to get rid of the use of fluorescent lights.

Library Lighting
For students, the library is more than a place to access books. It offers a chance to unwind, collaborate, quietly study, or host events. The right lighting can draw people in and make them feel engaged and welcome. Our luminaires have filled hundreds of libraries across the country, either to provide ambient light or an eye-catching feature.
