How should I light the lobby area around a reception desk?

Lobby lighting specification is a collaboration between the reception furniture design and the architectural lighting plan. OfficeFurniture2go.com coordinates with interior designers and lighting consultants to ensure the reception desk is lit correctly — not as an afterthought. The key specifications: ambient at 30–50 foot-candles for visitor comfort; task lighting at 50–70 foot-candles on the receptionist's work surface; and accent lighting (under-counter LED or architectural spots) to create visual hierarchy. Color temperature consistency between fixture types is critical — mixing warm and cool light sources in the same space creates an incoherent visual impression.
