Appearance was a primary factor. We wanted to retain the open character of the warehouse, yet turn the area into a first class office work environment. From experience, I knew the prismatic glass luminaires could do the job. They could put the light where it is needed. Much of the office space is designed with low partitions, approximately 40 inches high, separating work stations.
Some partitions measure as high as eight feet, with the interior walls going to the ceiling.
There are so many different angles involved. That's why the round, prismatic glass fixtures work better than fluorescent unit. An advantage of the PrismGlo fixtures is 40 percent uplight, which illuminates the 14-foot ceiling, providing a combination of direct and indirect light. The luminaires are mounted on stems 10 and 12 feet above tile floor, following the slope of the ceiling to a rectangular point, then leveling off at 12 feet. Spacing between fixtures is 12' x 12'.
