Education
Lighting
whitecroftlighting.com
 The importance of lighting in
modern-day education simply
can’t be underestimated. A critical
element of the learning environment,
it must create a positive setting and
meet the needs of flexible learning
spaces. Today’s education lighting
and control solutions must be suited
to the latest building techniques,
reducing installation time whether
in rapid on-site programmes or
modular off-site builds.

 From our early years through to adulthood,
education is an integral part of our daily
lives. It’s therefore imperative to provide
effective, stimulating and comfortable
environments that will help and encourage
the learning process. At Whitecroft Lighting
we understand that both artificial and
natural daylight are important in achieving
the goal of any educational establishment.

Throughout this lighting guide we look at the

different areas that are key to any educational
development, assessing the varying needs
of these spaces, and the four key pillars that
