The role of ambient lighting in workplace lighting design is to provide overall illumination to the environment, creating a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere for employees to work in. Ambient lighting can be achieved through the use of ceiling-mounted fixtures, wall sconces, or pendant lights to evenly distribute light throughout the space. Adequate ambient lighting also helps reduce eyestrain and fatigue, which can lead to increased productivity and decreased absenteeism. It is crucial to ensure that the ambient lighting is appropriately placed for optimal functioning and is consistent with the task lighting in the work area.
