Office lighting design involves more than achieving the required illuminance on the \nwork plane. Luminaire placement, luminance and light distribution within the field \nof view directly affect users\u2019 visual comfort. In offices, meeting rooms and \nworkstations with screens, where visual tasks continue for much of the day, \neffective glare control helps reduce eye strain and fatigue associated with \nprolonged work. Addressing this criterion from the earliest stages of a project \nmakes it possible to create visually comfortable workplaces and meet the \ndemands of professional lighting design.<\/p>\n\n

UGR <19: controlling light where it matters<\/h2>\n\n

UGR (Unified Glare Rating) is used to assess discomfort glare produced by an \nindoor lighting system. In workplaces, controlling this parameter is particularly \nrelevant when luminaires fall within users\u2019 field of view or when people work at \nscreens for extended periods. To meet this need, Lluria has developed KIT UGR \n<19, an optical assembly for indoor linear lighting designed to achieve UGR \u226419 in \naccordance with the criteria of UNE-EN 12464-1 for indoor workplaces. It is \nparticularly suited to offices, meeting rooms and screen workstations.<\/p>\n\n

Optics designed for visual comfort<\/h2>\n\n

The key is to control how light is emitted. KIT UGR <19 combines individual 50\u00b0 \noptics with an anti-glare louvre to direct the luminous flux and limit direct view of \nthe light source. The assembly includes optics, louvre, PCB and integrated driver, \nand arrives ready for installation. Its optical control is complemented by \nspecifications for professional projects: CRI >90, colour temperatures of 3000 K \nand 4000 K, black finish, IP20 protection, and ON-OFF or DALI versions. Luminous \nefficacy reaches 160 lm\/W at 3000 K and 170 lm\/W at 4000 K, with a five-year \nwarranty.<\/p>\n\n

Two lengths for creating lines of light<\/h2>\n\n

The two available lengths, 280 and 560 mm, allow the luminaire layout to be \nmatched more precisely to the dimensions and requirements of each project. \nCombining both lengths makes it easier to create continuous lines of light with \nUGR <19 control, maintaining uniform distribution and adapting the solution to the \narchitecture instead of relying on predetermined lengths. \n<\/p>\n\n

The 280 mm versions provide 7 W and a luminous flux of 1,104 lm at 3000 K or \n1,173 lm at 4000 K. The 560 mm versions provide 14 W and 2,208 lm at 3000 K or \n2,346 lm at 4000 K. This modularity allows the line of light to be sized more \nprecisely according to the characteristics of the space and the project\u2019s lighting \nneeds.<\/p>\n\n

One solution, different ways to integrate it<\/h2>\n\n

For architects, interior designers and lighting designers, a key advantage of KIT \nUGR <19 is that glare control does not dictate a single luminaire type. The kit is \ncompatible with Lluria\u2019s ST12, ST18, ST36, ST55 and ST67 profiles, allowing \ndifferent installation requirements to be met within one project. Suspended, \nwall-mounted, ceiling-mounted and recessed installations can thus share the same \noptical solution and a consistent appearance. The catalogue presents the \nintegration options for all five profiles and their configurations, making selection \neasier according to the architectural needs of each space.<\/p>\n\n

Visual comfort with linear lighting<\/h2>\n\n

Glare control is essential in workplace lighting, yet it need not restrict the \nintegration of light into architecture. Linear lighting can meet visual comfort \nrequirements while retaining the continuity, precision and flexibility characteristic \nof this type of solution.<\/p>\n\n

With KIT UGR <19, Lluria applies this approach in a modular solution that is ready \nto install and can be adapted to different profiles, configurations and mounting \ntypes. It offers a technical response to glare control, allowing professionals to \ncontinue designing with lines of light wherever visual comfort is a priority.<\/p>\n\n
