Features of the organization of educational institutions
Schools in our country are designed to educate children of different age groups. So in the elementary school, still very young children study, and in the middle and senior ones they are already older. Therefore, the requirements and norms for the class will differ depending on what age the children will be studying here.
School premises
Children at school spend most of the day doing a variety of activities:
- write and read;
- are engaged in fine arts and labors;
- go in for sports;
- rest during breaks;
- eat in the dining room;
- conduct laboratory classes in chemistry and physics rooms.
In order for all the manipulations described above to be efficient and safe, it is necessary to create the correct lighting not only for the classroom and the separate workplace of each child, but also for the corridors and gyms.
It is worth noting that an improperly organized level of illumination in any school room will negatively affect the psyche, health and academic performance of each student. Therefore, in order for the illumination level to be optimal, special standards and requirements have been developed. These norms and requirements are spelled out in special documentation (SanPin and SNiP).
Lighting standards for schools
These documents, especially in SanPin, describe all the norms and requirements that should be taken into account when organizing each workplace for a student, as well as the level of illumination for any educational premises.
For this reason, it is educational institutions in SanPin and SNiP that are assigned a sufficient part. All the norms and requirements are spelled out here, which must be taken into account when organizing the lighting of the school. It is worth noting here that the requirements and norms specified in SanPin must be applied to all types of lighting (artificial and natural) and with an assessment of the characteristics of each individual room:
- a classroom and a separate workplace for a student;
- corridor;
- dining room;
- gym;
- laboratory rooms, etc.
Therefore, in each room, as the requirements and norms specified in SanPin and SNiP regarding the level of illumination say, its own types of lamps (can be LED, fluorescent, etc.) should be used, which have certain characteristics.
Factors influencing the choice
When installing artificial lighting in the bedroom, it is worth considering the penetration of sunlight through the windows, the length of daylight hours and the location of the room in the house.
Room location
The choice of lighting devices is influenced by the location of the room in an apartment or house. The room, located on the south side, always has enough light throughout the day. The sun's rays penetrate into the room and make it more comfortable.
Rooms located on the north side need additional lighting and the right choice of furniture colors. The light entering the bedroom during the day is more diffused, softer. It makes interior details blurry and faded. Such a room needs to be lit both in winter and in summer, and in rain and in clear weather.
Window size
When planning the location of lighting fixtures, window openings are taken into account. Their sizes are regulated by SNiP and are calculated depending on the area of the room.
Usually the light coming in through the windows is enough for the room. If the room is dark, changing the size of window openings is allowed, but this process is always combined with the difficulties of installation and the cost of devices. In this case, light is added by installing lamps and chandeliers.
Room size
An important factor in the choice of lighting in a room is the size of the room. According to building codes, windows in rooms are made in such a way that there is enough natural light for the entire space. However, in a room that is too large, it can be dark in remote areas. In this case, they resort to zoning the territory and highlight each of them with lamps.
What role does lighting play in a hairdressing salon?
When developing a project, it must be remembered that in addition to the general interior and the friendliness of the administrator, another important factor is important for visitors: how the room is lit. Lighting affects the perception of the room, the client is more comfortable in the most light and open space, he is more willing to discuss the list of services provided.
As for the employees of the hairdressing salon, sufficient illumination of the premises is necessary, first of all, for health. increases their performance and mood. The power of lighting devices and their number must comply with the norms and goals of the premises, create comfortable conditions for customers and for high-quality work of the craftsmen.
The correct selection of fixtures is also important. The workroom should have an optimal amount of general and accent light sources. Competently placed light points in each room will not only create an atmosphere of comfort and provide conditions for high-quality work, but also emphasize the interior favorably.
Varieties of lamps
All known types of lamps are used for the nursery, but they are carefully selected. The most common are:
- hanging or applied type chandeliers;
- sources of additional illumination in the form of luminaires built into the ceiling;
- wall sconces and bedside lamps;
- children's floor lamps and table lamps.
When buying, you should pay attention to some characteristics:
- the maximum power of the device is greater than the needs of the children's room;
- simplicity and reliability of the design;
- ease of management and care;
- the ability to adjust the power of the luminous flux.
By the type of fastening, lighting fixtures are divided into hook, point, ceiling.
Hooks
Such luminaires are distinguished by their reliable fastening, since they are suspended from a hook mounted in the ceiling. Installation is simple and reliable, but the chandelier itself is located slightly below the mounting level. For this reason, hook lamps are most relevant in children's rooms with high ceilings.
Ceiling
These luminaires are mounted directly to the ceiling, stretch or conventional. There are several varieties on sale that differ in cost and installation procedure:
- chandeliers - used for a ceiling height of no more than 250 cm;
- built-in - illuminate any of the areas of the children's room;
- spots - have movable light sources that direct to any area.
An interesting option for lighting on the ceiling is a false window, where a picture of a starry or clear sky is placed. It can be used as additional lighting or as a night light.
Point
At low ceilings, spot lighting can visually increase the height of a child's room. It gives an even light that is pleasing to the eyes of the child. The luminaires are mounted flush with the surface, and therefore are safe for others. If installed correctly, they can adjust the degree of illumination and divide the area of the nursery into zones, become "stars in the sky" and decorate the design of the room. Recently, point light sources with halogen or LED lamps are replacing chandeliers and sconces, since they provide better lighting and ease of installation.
The Role of Preschool Lighting
Preschool institutions are designed for the full growth and development of children, as well as their socialization.Such institutions have the highest safety requirements, since the child's body is very susceptible to environmental conditions and is not yet able to adequately withstand its negative effects due to the immaturity of its adaptive capabilities. Based on this, the kindergarten has a number of important requirements for the organization of internal premises:
- safety of rooms;
- hygiene of premises;
- compliance with building codes;
- high quality lighting.
Lighting in the kindergarten group
One of the basic points of preparing a preschool facility for the reception of children is the correct organization of the lighting system.
Improper lighting in kindergarten can lead to the following negative consequences:
- deterioration of vision;
- the appearance of disorders in the psyche. Most often, children become irritable, aggressive and disobedient. In addition, they cry more often and sleep worse;
- decreased activity;
- deterioration in general health;
- increased injury rate. In poor lighting conditions, children may not notice the toys scattered around the room, step on them, stumble, etc.
These phenomena will occur at any incorrect backlight level.
As you can see, the key to the successful and normal development of children is high-quality lighting. The same applies to the festive events held in the kindergarten. Assembly halls also have their own standards for organizing proper lighting in them.
The illumination level for various types of premises is strictly determined by sanitary rules and regulations. The sanitary and epidemiological service monitors the implementation of these standards.
Organization of artificial lighting inside preschool institutions
The most important indicators in the organization of the lighting system inside the kindergarten are two criteria:
- an indicator of discomfort;
- illumination ripple coefficient.
Fluorescent lamp LEC
The choice of lighting devices for creating an optimal luminous flux is made on the basis of the recommendations of SNiP and SanPiN. According to the regulatory documentation for kindergartens, you should choose fluorescent lighting devices, where the following types of lamps can be used as light sources:
- LB - white light source;
- LHB - a source of cold light flux (white);
- LEC is a natural light source with improved color rendering.
According to the standards prescribed in the regulatory documentation, the use of incandescent lamps is also allowed. But here it should be remembered that for such light sources, the illumination rate must be lowered by two steps.
Today, modern light sources are becoming noticeably in demand - LED bulbs. They can also be used for indoor lighting in a kindergarten.
LED lighting in the kindergarten
Remember, however, that the regulations given in the regulatory documents have not been projected onto these new light sources. Therefore, before installing them, you need to coordinate this with the territorial authorities of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision.
The luminaires should be located inside the premises of preschool institutions as follows: lighting devices with fluorescent lamps should be placed parallel to the light-carrying wall. The distance from the wall (outside) should be 1.2 m, and from the inside - 1.5 m.
To illuminate classrooms, it is recommended to use systems with fluorescent lamps of various types (LP028-2x40, LS002-2x40, LP0022x40, TsSP-5-2x40, LP034-4x36).
Such lamps should be placed on top of the board, slightly above its upper edge, and 0.6 m and 0.3 m to the side.
How to choose the location of light sources
Light sources are located depending on the location of the interior items and the zoning of the room.
At the head of the bed
Bedside lighting devices are located in the sleeping area at the head of the bed. They are installed both for practical purposes and as a decor.If the bed is double, it is advisable to hang the lamps on both sides. The optimum mounting height is 1.2-1.5 m from the floor. It is better to use devices with a flexible leg, in this case, the direction of the light can always be changed.
General ceiling lighting
General lighting involves installing a chandelier in the center of the ceiling space. Its function will include lighting the entire room. You need to choose a device with matte shades directed to the sides or slightly upward. This will allow the light to diffuse and not create an uncomfortable atmosphere in the room. It is better not to use a massive chandelier for the bedroom.
At the dressing table
The lighting next to the dressing table needs to be intense but soft. It is better if it is a warm light tone. Lamps should illuminate the mirror well, but not strain your eyes. They are installed on both sides, mounted on a wall or on a table. You can use lamps with flexible stem or with dimmable light direction.
Additional point light sources
Spotlights can be used to fully or partially illuminate a room. They are often installed in multi-tiered ceilings, creating the effect of a starry sky. An LED backlight is inserted into the stretch cover.
You can illuminate the bed area if you place LED strips or tubes under it. You can choose any color. Such lighting visually expands the room and changes the atmosphere in it.
Types of lamps and lighting devices
Daylight lamps lead to rapid fatigue and irritation of the child, and their spectrum is difficult for the eyes to perceive, therefore they are not recommended to be installed in children.
Experts recommend using low-power halogen and LED lamps as "children's" light sources.
LED lamps can provide high-quality light to all areas of the nursery with maximum energy savings. LEDs provide a soft and uniform light similar to daylight. Such devices are durable and safe. In addition, with a wide range of colors, they allow you to create fabulous and amazing lighting effects.
LED effects in the nursery
Lighting options in various functional areas of the children's room
The number of lamps depends on the size of the room, the number of its functional areas, as well as on the power of the light sources. The child's personal space should be divided into several zones, each of which requires its own, special, lighting.
- game Zone;
- work zone;
- recreation area and bedroom;
- a place to socialize with friends - for a teenage room.
The ideal option for artificial lighting for a nursery is multi-level light, which can be obtained using the following options:
- the light of ceiling chandeliers, pendant or spotlights that distribute the main light over the play area, located away from the window;
- local (local) light - wall sconces installed in the recreation area, as well as night lamps located above the bed;
- special lighting - table lamp, flexible lamp, illumination of the work area.
Multilevel lighting of a children's room
General lighting is the main artificial light, which should illuminate not only the play area, but also complement the radiation of the table lamp in the child's “study”. Devices of the main lighting should give a bright diffused light, therefore the shades of the chandelier should be made of frosted glass, paper or plastic. Reflective lamps - transparent glass, mirror and crystal chandeliers give glare and are dangerous for children, especially if the child is a future athlete.
In modern lighting for a nursery, designers use combined light from chandeliers and spotlights, and sometimes LED lighting, which is placed around the perimeter of the room.
Natural light in the nursery
Natural (daytime) light - the rays of the sun penetrating into the nursery - is optimal for the physical and psycho-emotional development of the child, therefore, first of all, this particular light should be used as efficiently as possible.
The amount of light that enters a room depends not only on the season, but also on the location of the room itself relative to the cardinal points.
For a children's room, it is considered optimal that the windows exit to east or southeast side. In this case, the child will wake up in a bright, but not flooded with sunlight room.
If the windows of the room face east, then the excess of the morning flow of sunlight can be reduced by partially covering the windows. During the day, when the sun is in the south, the curtains can be reopened to brighten the room.
The least favorable location for a children's room is an exit to the north or west side of the horizon. In this case, the minimum amount of daylight (natural) light enters the room. Accordingly, the child will wake up in a dim room.
You can add light to a room in the following ways:
- artificial lighting;
- windows with translucent curtains that allow light to pass through;
- light, predominantly white color of the walls, due to which the light energy will be less absorbed and more evenly scattered throughout the entire volume of the room.
Lighting requirements
Lighting for hairdressing salons must comply with sanitary standards. High-quality lighting devices will provide the necessary working conditions for the staff and guarantee a comfortable stay for customers.
However, hairdressing salons also have to work in artificial light, when natural light is not enough for work.
The main requirement for lighting in hairdressing salons is a high degree of color rendering, maximum color matching under natural and artificial lighting. Fluorescent lamps are the best solution for such requirements. Such lamps can have several glow options, so you need to choose the most appropriate for daylight natural light, with a stable light flux, without flickering.
The second equally important condition for the illumination of a hairdressing salon is uniformity and sufficient illumination. In artificial lighting, in addition to powerful fluorescent lamps, shades made of materials that dissipate the luminous flux well are used
For example, frosted glass shades do this job well.
When working on a hairdressing salon lighting project, do not forget about the reception area. Here the visitor gets acquainted with the hairdressing salon, its services, achievements and staff.
In the working area, the illumination affects the quality of the master's work. Depending on the work performed by the master, the appropriate lighting power must be selected. In conditions of darkening, colors will be distorted, which makes it difficult to accurately determine and select the appropriate colors and shades for dyeing hair.
In the same area, it is worth paying attention to local lighting. A wall lamp or sconce located at a height of 180-200 cm from the floor is well suited for this role.
Lighting devices: making the right choice!
When buying a lamp for a nursery, first of all, pay attention to the following indicators:
- energy power - the light should not be dim, but at the same time not too bright;
- durability - sconce shades should be easy to remove and not heat up;
- dimming control;
- ease of care;
- specific color of the light from the device.
When buying a glass lamp, give preference to frosted glass models, as glossy shades tend to give glare, which is harmful to the eyes of the child. The best option is a fabric or paper lampshade, these models are the safest.
Choose small fixtures with simple designs and no decorations.The shape of the device must necessarily be flat, which contributes to uniform light diffusion.
Having calculated the required power, you will ensure the correct lighting in the nursery: 10-15 watts for 1 square meter, and 50-60 watts for 1 square meter for the play and work area.
Organize the now fashionable so-called "perimeter" light in the room with the help of halogen lamps, when small lamps are mounted around the perimeter of the ceiling, creating a soft, diffused and very favorable light for your child. This kind of lighting is ideal for a small room to visually enlarge the space. For a very miniature nursery, use wall lamps and sconces - they provide directional lighting to a specific area.
Another option specially designed for children is a model for suspended ceilings. Round (glazed), in the form of stars, glass balls, they give a lot of original lighting effects. Such lamps should be correctly positioned in groups, distributed along walls, in corners or over the entire surface of the ceiling. Their great abundance (1 device per 1 sq. M) may well replace the main light source.
As for the night lights, you can be more loyal to their choice. Today, manufacturers produce many interesting and funny models in the shape of a car, flower, butterfly or a character from your favorite cartoon. Try to choose lamps in a single style and color composition - this will give an original aesthetic effect.
Lighting in classrooms and classrooms
The most important space in a school is the classroom or classroom. In them, children spend most of their educational time, gaining new knowledge in a wide variety of sciences. Here, for the student, his permanent workplace is determined. At the same time, for the workplace of each individual student, the norms and requirements for SanPin and SNiP are the same, which allows you to create an optimal level of illumination throughout the entire area of the illuminated room. As a result, the performance of both an individual student and the entire class as a whole increases.
Lighting class
Classrooms and classrooms must comply with the following requirements and norms:
- illuminated by warm light. Moreover, this requirement is more relevant for primary school classes;
- the location of the lighting fixtures should be selected based on the geometry of the room, the angle of light scattering and the level of brightness;
- uniform lighting of the room;
- for lighting, you can use LED or fluorescent lighting;
- the ratio of the lowest illumination in the classes should not exceed 0.5. The minimum illumination level is 150 lux. In this case, the maximum level of illumination in the classrooms should be at 750 lux.
In this case, special attention should be paid here to the school board. This is due to the fact that the work of a student in the class involves his exit to the blackboard.
For a comfortable stay of a student near the blackboard, the following requirements must be met here:
- complete elimination of glare;
- creation of a luminous flux that allows you to comfortably and conveniently view text and graphics from anywhere in the classroom;
- independence of lighting devices from other types of electrical appliances;
- efficiency of lamps;
- the minimum level of noise generated by lighting devices.
Lighting near the board
Often in classrooms, oblong fluorescent lamps are used as lighting fixtures. But lately, LED lamps are gaining more and more popularity in this matter. But they are somewhat more expensive than luminescent ones. Therefore, the latter are not so quickly squeezed out of the lighting market.
Natural lighting of the nursery
Natural light in the nursery
Natural sunlight is the most optimal lighting for both an adult and a child
That is why it is important that the child's room receives the maximum amount of light during the day. Competent natural lighting in a children's room depends on which side its windows face
The ideal option is windows to the east or southeast. Getting into the room, sunlight has a beneficial effect on the regime, lifestyle and psycho-emotional state of the child.
If the nursery windows face south, shade them with transparent curtains so that excessively bright light does not burden your eyesight.
"Western" windows "restrict" light from the morning, so these children require additional adjustment with artificial sources.
"North" windows do not need blackout curtains or drapes at all, it is enough to cover them with translucent Roman blinds or airy curtains, leaving maximum access to light. In the design of the room, dark shades should be avoided, making the most of white and reflective surfaces. The optimal color design for the nursery is natural blue, yellow and green.
How to organize artificial lighting in a children's room - 5 principles
A competent approach to the issue of lighting in a children's room is the key to its successful solution. You need to consider the location:
- beds;
- workplace;
- play area.
The main rule is that the light should be pleasing to the eye. If it is too bright or, conversely, dim, the child will experience psycho-emotional discomfort. And also - these are prerequisites for vision problems in the future.
Consider the location of the lighting fixtures so that the light evenly fills the room. Try to avoid shading and contrasting transitions.
A central chandelier can act as the main source of light in a children's room. A desk lamp is a must in the workplace. Built-in spots can be used as light accents both on the ceiling and on the walls and in the floor.
Here is a good example of arranging additional lighting. Soffits are built into the shelves.
Dekorin designers advise adhering to the following principles when organizing lighting:
Install dimmers
This will allow the child to dim the lighting as desired.
It is very important to consider what time of day the child is learning his lessons. If during the day, then position the desk so that sunlight hits the notebooks and textbooks on the left.
If the child does the main work in the evening, then the table can be set as you like. But, again, fix the desk lamp on the wall or on the table on the left side.
Lighting in the nursery should be versatile. Various sconces, floor lamps, table lamps will not be superfluous. However, avoid lamps that give off greenish, pale blue, or dazzling white light. You can - devices with a warm glow type. It is a nice soft light (yellow).
Use a garland as a decorative element. Place it by the window or by the bed to fill the nursery with special comfort in the evening hours. It is also a great alternative to a night light.
5. Teach your child to take care of eye health from childhood. Make sure that the kid does not draw when the table lamp is off. Say that you cannot bend low over the table. As a rule, non-observance of such elementary things leads to serious problems.
Basic design styles
The style of lighting fixtures is determined based on the overall composition. Sometimes it is permissible to combine several design techniques in the interior, but this must be done very carefully so as not to clutter up the room with details and not cause rivalry between styles.
Provence
Lighting fixtures made in this style have smooth lines, graceful curved shades and floral decor. Lamps are made of natural materials - metal, stone, wood, fabric. In color they adhere to beige, olive, white, terracotta.Provence is a provincial style, therefore, too bright and unnatural colors are not used in the design of chandeliers.
Classical
Classic lamps are made of metal, wood, porcelain, crystal, glass. They are not lush and not massive, but at the same time they have a bright decor made of gilding or bronze. They are symmetrical, easy to use and practical. Lamps are selected in accordance with the style of the room. Small sconces are placed in niches next to paintings.
Mediterranean
The Mediterranean style assumes maximum lighting even during the daytime, therefore it uses a lot of lamps, chandeliers, lighting. For the manufacture of lighting devices, natural paints are taken - yellow, green, blue. Chandeliers are often made multi-lamp, made of wood and metal.
Modern
The modern style of lamps rejects the use of outdated materials - wood, fabric. There are no lampshades in it, they are simple in execution and functional. For manufacturing, metal, glass, plastic are used. The color of execution is white, beige, with a minimum of decor. The devices are quite robust and durable to use.
Scandinavian
Lamps in the Scandinavian style are close to minimalism and are quite environmentally friendly. They are made of natural materials - wood, metal, glass. The shape is most often in the form of a bump, it gives more light without dividing it and leaving no glare. Scandi-style chandeliers are hung quite low, floor lamps and lamps are installed next to the bed.
Oriental
The oriental style is characterized by the use of numerous lamps that emit warm light. In the bedroom, not only a central chandelier is installed, but small sconces and lamps can also be mounted along the perimeter of the walls. Bamboo, stained glass, fabric can be used for decorating devices. Decorate lamps with bright decorations and drawings.
Loft
A characteristic feature of loft-style luminaires is a long wire or chain. Place them low, positioned over a specific area that needs to be illuminated. Floor lamps that resemble spotlights are often used. They have a wooden base and a fabric shade. For brighter lighting, rotary spotlights are installed on the ceiling.
High tech
The style is characterized by the use of strict fittings. The lamps have a chrome base, the shades are matte, without unnecessary corners and smooth lines. The luminaire models are functional and thought out to the smallest detail. Most often used with LED or halogen lamps.
Useful aspects
When planning your home lighting for different rooms, you need to know what to consider first. The most important aspects of such planning include:
ideal illumination is as close as possible to natural light in terms of its characteristics (luminous flux, color temperature, etc.);
Controlled lighting
each light source has a specific set of advantages and disadvantages. When choosing a light bulb for a room, you need to evaluate not only its merits, but also those disadvantages that accompany its work. For example, for fluorescent lamps, the disadvantages are the presence of a flickering effect and a negative effect on the body with a short working distance from a person.
All the above nuances must be taken into account so that the calculations obtained are comparable and consistent with what standards are given in SNiP.
Standard separation
Another division of the types of light sources is carried out in the direction of the beam:
- general plan - when the direction is uniform in space;
- directional plan - when the direction is set artificially to illuminate the selected area, the rays are distributed evenly;
- indirect (reflected) plan - when the direction goes to the wall and ceiling, and the uniformity of distribution is obtained due to the occurring reflection;
- diffuse plan - when the direction passes through a shade made of a material of a translucent shade;
- mixed plan - when several of the types presented above are implemented simultaneously.
2.2. Requirements for natural lighting in residential buildings

Requirements for natural lighting of residential buildings, depending on the purpose
the premises are set out in.
2.2.2. At
unilateral side lighting in residential buildings, the standard value of KEO should
be provided at the design point located at the intersection of the vertical
the plane of the characteristic section of the room and the plane of the floor at a distance of 1 m from
walls farthest from skylights: in one room for 1-, 2- and
3-room apartments and two-room apartments for 4 and more room apartments.
In the rest
rooms of multi-room apartments and in the kitchen, the normalized value of KEO at side
lighting must be provided at the design point located in the center
premises on the plane of the floor.
2.2.3. At
one-way side lighting of living rooms of dormitories, living rooms and rooms
hotels, the standardized value of KEO must be ensured at the design point,
located at the intersection of the vertical plane of the characteristic section
premises and floor planes in the geometric center of the room.
Regulatory documents on the lighting of preschool institutions
To date, the level of illumination for various types of structures (houses, industrial workshops and educational institutions) is regulated by the relevant documentation. Therefore, the installation of any lighting system (outdoor or indoor) is carried out only on the basis of existing standards.
For preschool institutions, however, as well as for other facilities, the norms are spelled out in the following documents:
SNiP. This document is basic and stands for "building codes and regulations". You should rely on it when constructing buildings for various purposes. This document is a set of regulatory documents adopted by the relevant executive authorities for the construction sector. The SNiP contains such sections as general provisions, estimate norms and rules, design standards, as well as rules for the production and acceptance of work. Here the norms for the level of illumination for residential and non-residential buildings are spelled out;
SNiP norms for the garden
SanPin norms (example)
SanPin. This is additional documentation that contains the norms that must be taken into account when organizing a lighting system in kindergartens. SanPin is "sanitary norms and rules"
Separately, it should be noted that the SanPin norms should be taken into account when working with SNiP. SanPin standards cover the areas of design and operation of buildings and enterprises under construction
In addition to the above documents (SNiP and SanPin), in each region of the country there may be additional regulations, whose norms should also be taken into account when erecting buildings for various purposes. For example, Moscow has an MGSN, which stands for “Moscow city building codes”. These norms are considered valid for the territory of Moscow. In this situation, MGSN can be considered as a clarification and addition to SNiP and SanPin. Such norms apply to the construction and design of various multifunctional complexes and buildings.
Requirements for lighting devices when organizing internal and external lighting
Correctly organized lighting of the kindergarten inside its premises is performed by those lamps that will:
- have small dimensions;
- create a high-quality luminous flux, which gives the ability to clearly distinguish even small objects. In such a situation, the eyes of children will be in comfortable lighting for them;
- to give an evenly distributed light that is able to protect the eyes of children from the strong brightness of the light bulb;
Backlighting in a garden group
the presence of good protection of lighting devices from mechanical damage that children can inflict while playing.
In addition, another important aspect of the choice of both the light source and lighting fixtures is economy in terms of energy consumption. Because of this, today more and more preschool institutions are switching to LED lighting, which is currently recognized as the most economical. At the same time, it fully meets the requirements regarding the generated luminous flux.
Basic standard requirements also exist for lighting fixtures used to illuminate the outer staircase and playgrounds, as well as the area adjacent to the garden.
Here the following requirements are imposed on the lamps:
- creation of uniform lighting that can illuminate the entire territory of the game playground;
- the presence of a high class of moisture resistance (not less than 54 IP);
- increased protection of mud and dust deposits;
- additional protection against mechanical damage, which can be caused by both children and weather conditions (strong wind, hail, snow, falling of broken branches, etc.).
Outdoor garden lighting
It should be noted that in the organization of outdoor lighting, you should be as careful as when creating lighting for the interior of a kindergarten.
