A modern library is more than just a place for storing books. It is a dynamic meeting place for learning, studying, cultural events and relaxation. This places high demands on library lighting, which needs to balance visual comfort for focused reading with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. By combining well-shielded general lighting, targeted shelf lighting and intelligent lighting control systems, it is possible to create a flexible lighting environment where visitors of all ages can feel comfortable and focused.
A library brings together many different needs in the same space. Sufficient vertical illuminance is essential to ensure that book titles and spines are clearly visible across all shelves, including the lowest ones. Study desks and reading areas require good task lighting to reduce eye strain and minimise shadows and reflections on books and screens. Using energy-efficient LED technology with a high colour rendering index (CRI) and low glare (UGR) helps create a comfortable and functional environment. Smart lighting controls also make it possible to adjust light levels according to the amount of available daylight and adapt the lighting for lectures, presentations or events.
To create harmonious and functional lighting in a library, we recommend combining several types of luminaires from our range:
Recessed luminaires: Provide even, glare-free and comfortable general lighting across open areas and circulation zones, supporting orientation and creating a spacious atmosphere.
Pendant luminaires: Ideal for study desks, information desks and reading areas, providing direct task lighting on the work surface combined with soft indirect light towards the ceiling.
Downlights and spotlights: Adjustable luminaires that provide even vertical illumination along bookshelves or highlight exhibitions, signage and architectural details.
Desk lamps: Provide personal and adjustable task lighting at study desks and reading corners for maximum visual comfort.
To prevent reflected glare, use luminaires with microprismatic diffusers and low glare ratings (UGR < 19). Careful positioning is also important to ensure that light sources do not reflect in screens or on glossy book pages.
Bookshelves require good vertical illuminance. Track-mounted spotlights with asymmetric optics or linear luminaires can distribute light evenly from the top shelf down to floor level, ensuring that book spines remain clearly visible throughout the shelving.
Libraries often have large windows that provide plenty of natural daylight. With daylight control, artificial lighting is automatically dimmed when sufficient daylight is available. This can reduce energy use while maintaining a consistent and comfortable light level throughout the space.
