FARMERS MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
An overhead “table” above the boardroom table incorporates scrollwork found elsewhere in the building, and acts as both artwork and luminaire with its
embedded LED spotlights.
Using the Encelium system, nearly every fixture is individually addressable,
allowing staff to home in on the best light levels for each
space. Private office staff computers loaded with personalized
lighting control software tailor the lighting to suit individual tastes.
In the open-office areas, daylight harvesting and occupant motion
sensors take advantage of ambient daylight when available, while
maintaining an adjustable minimum level of ambient light. ■
