A revolution in school lighting: How does light shape the future of education?

Solid foundations – who is behind the solutions?

Lena Lighting S.A., a Polish manufacturer with over 36 years of experience in the LED industry, is behind modern lighting solutions for educational institutions. The company, with its headquarters and production facilities in Środa Wielkopolska, is one of the market leaders.

Lena Lighting not only designs but also tests its luminaires in its own photometric laboratory, which complies with the ISO 17025:2017 standard. CTF Stage 3 accreditation guarantees the highest quality, and cooperation with global suppliers of electronic components allows the company to implement innovative and sustainable technologies.

Why is lighting important for schools?

Students spend 6 to 8 hours a day in classrooms. Lighting quality directly impacts health, concentration, and learning outcomes.

Health and Circadian Rhythm – daylight (5000–6500 K) synchronizes the biological rhythm, supports concentration, and improves sleep quality.
Hormonal Impact – proper lighting reduces seasonal mood swings (SAD) by regulating the secretion of melatonin and serotonin.
Visual Comfort – Eliminating glare and even light intensity protect your eyesight, reducing eye strain and headaches.
Learning Efficiency – Studies show that well-designed lighting increases student concentration by 15–25%, improves reading speed, and reduces errors.
Safety – Bright hallways, stairs, and the school grounds reduce the risk of accidents, and emergency lighting enables efficient evacuation.

Human Centric Lighting (HCL), Daylight Harvesting and LED IQ – light designed with people in mind

Modern schools are implementing technologies that are changing the way we think about lighting:

Human Centric Lighting (HCL) – lighting adjusts color and intensity to the natural human rhythm. Cooler light stimulates in the morning, while warmer light promotes relaxation in the afternoon.
Daylight Harvesting – sensors measure the amount of daylight and automatically adjust the intensity of LED fixtures. This not only saves energy, but also improves user comfort.
LED IQ – an intelligent lighting management system enables remote control, monitoring energy consumption, and adapting operating parameters to the school's current needs.

Standards and quality – what parameters are crucial in schools?

When designing educational lighting, Lena Lighting takes into account all applicable standards:

CRI ≥ 80 – natural color reproduction, important when working with educational materials.
Color temperature 4000 K – neutral light that does not strain the eyes.
Light intensity uniformity – min. 0.6 in the work area and 0.4 in the surrounding area.
UGR – low glare index ensuring visual comfort.
LED luminaire lifespan – up to 75,000 hours (L70B50).

CE, RoHS, PN-EN compliance – guarantee of safety and quality.

FAQ:

🔹 Does modernizing lighting involve additional work and costs, e.g. painting classrooms?

➡️ No, the lighting modernization offer presented assumes a turnkey modernization – including any painting, cleaning, etc.

🔹 How long does it take to modernize the lighting in a building?

➡️ It depends on the size of the building, but it can be assumed that in a large primary school, the lighting will be modernized in about a month, assuming the school is still operating and does not suspend classes.

🔹 How durable is the new LED lighting?

➡️ Current technology allows us to estimate the durability and reliable operation of new LED lighting for at least 20 years.

🔹 After modernization, does the school have to take into account any additional costs for operating the new lighting?

➡️No, absolutely no additional service costs should be expected – there are no costs for replacing light sources or other components.

🔹 What guarantee do we have that lighting standards will be met after modernization?

➡️Firstly, the modernisation offer presented is based on the completed lighting design, and secondly, after the modernisation is completed, we always carry out official measurements of the average lighting intensity, which are concluded with a report.

🔹 Do you offer free lighting design?

➡️Yes. Our specialists create free lighting designs based on technical drawings and client needs. We can also customize lamps to suit the specific needs of your project.
