LUCTRA VITAWORK THE ANSWER TO MODERN LIGHTING NEEDS
The world of work is changing: digitisation,
co-working, agile workspaces, individualisation
and ageing workforces are changing the way
we work. Workplaces must be more flexible
and adapt quickly to new ways of working.
Seating comfort, noise protection, air quality
and height-adjustable tables are trending topics
in ergonomic o ice design. However visual
ergonomics, i.e. lighting quality and visual
comfort, are rarely the focus of attention. A lack
of daylight and inadequate or poor artificial
lighting can lead to decreased concentration and
physical complaints. Also, we’re all di erent;
a 60-year old requires twice as much light as a
mid-20-year-old to achieve comparable vision.
O ice lighting should therefore be flexible and
individually adapted to our di ering needs,
which is why we’ve created VITAWORK.

A happier workforce
VITAWORK exceeds the 500 lux requirements of the
European indoor workplace lighting standard (EN
12464-1), delivering light intensities of 1,000 lux.
Surveys have revealed that more than 60 per cent
of workers prefer light intensities in excess of 800
lux, which means using VITAWORK results in more
contented workers.
Unique light distribution
VITAWORK is available in three di erent luminous
flux intensities which are designed to light rooms
of di erent size. This means that spaces can be lit
e iciently using the appropriate type and number
of VITAWORK luminaires: 7,000 lm for open space,
12,000 lm for o ices with single and double work
stations (approx. 16 m) 17,000 lm for large rooms
and exposed concrete ceilings.
Each VITAWORK is also available with either
symmetrical or asymmetrical light distribution.
Asymmetrical light distribution projects the light in
a single direction, so it’s particularly useful when
placing the luminaire near a wall or to prevent light
being lost through a window.
VITAWORK has 2 light panels. The large
downward facing panel provides direct light
whilst the LED’s on the top of the lamp head
provide indirect light. This combination
provides natural light distribution and even
illumination of a space.
Energy e iciency
LUCTRA VITAWORK is an intelligent lamp
that flexibly adapts to the changing lighting
environment enabling energy savings of up
to 80%. The presence sensor automatically
turns the lamp o when it’s not needed,
saving energy. The light
intensity sensor automatically
brightens/dims the light to
the appropriate level. So if it’s
sunny outside, VITAWORK will
detect this additional light and
react, dimming the state-ofthe
art LED’s to save energy.
VITAWORK is also extremely
energy e icient at approx. 135
lm/W and with high luminous
flux levels and unique light
distribution, it can be used
in any workplace instead of
overhead ceiling lights. This
means that switches, cables
and suspended ceilings are no
longer required, saving costs,
protecting the environment
and creating new opportunities
for architects.
Speed Read:
We currently focus on
workplace seating comfort,
noise protection and air
quality, but we don’t realise
that bad lighting a ects our
health.
The light level provided by
VITAWORK results in more
contented workers.
VITAWORK is energy e icient
and its sensors enable
energy savings of up to 80%.
VITAWORK replace ceiling
lights, removing the need for
expensive infrastructure.
