The Importance of Daylight in Meeting Rooms
Natural daylight is essential in creating an inspiring and productive meeting environment. Here’s why it matters:
Boosts Productivity
Exposure to natural light has been shown to enhance focus and energy levels, enabling meeting participants to stay engaged for longer periods.
Improves Mood and Well-Being
Daylight reduces stress and fosters a sense of well-being, promoting positive interactions and creative thinking during discussions.
Supports Sustainability
Utilising daylight reduces the need for artificial lighting, contributing to energy efficiency and a greener workspace.
Enhances Aesthetic Appeal
Bright, naturally lit spaces feel more inviting and professional, leaving a lasting impression on clients and team members alike.
Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations
In the UK, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require that lighting in workspaces, including meeting rooms, be “suitable and sufficient,” with a preference for natural daylight wherever feasible. While no specific daylight levels are mandated, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) advises maximising natural light to create healthy and productive environments, considering factors like glare and contrast in lighting design (HSE). Similarly, sustainability guidelines, such as the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED certification, emphasise daylighting as a means to enhance occupant well-being and productivity (USGBC). These frameworks highlight the importance of incorporating daylight into meeting rooms to align with both regulatory standards and best practices for workplace design.

Set the perfect light level with a daylight dimmer
Daylight dimmer 1-10 volts
The daylight dimmer 1-10 volts consists of a remote-controlled butterfly valve that opens and closes at the push of a button. This allows you to adjust the daylight in the room from light to dark, and everything in between.
Manual Daylight dimmer
Bright sunlight flooding your home is great...unless you want to take an afternoon nap. The optional manual daylight dimmer kit solves this issue. The manual daylight dimmer blocks all daylight from the Solatube daylight system in 1 easy step.

Natural daylight is essential in a meeting room
Natural daylight is essential in a meeting room as it enhances focus, boosts mood, and fosters productivity. Research shows that exposure to daylight improves cognitive performance and reduces fatigue, creating a more engaging and effective meeting environment. Additionally, natural light contributes to sustainability by reducing the need for artificial lighting, making it a critical element of modern, efficient workspace design.
Diffused light
The Powerdaylight daylighting tube provides soft, diffused light, ensuring a comfortable environment for working on screens. This gentle lighting eliminates harsh glare and shadows, making it ideal for spaces where screen-based tasks are performed.
