Office Floor Lamps Compared

An office floor lamp illuminates the workstation where ceiling lighting cannot reach: directly on the work surface and without interfering with building infrastructure. GRAU manufactures three free-standing luminaires for work zones, each designed for a specific number of desks. This comparison highlights their differences and helps you determine which model fits your workspace. All three are engineered and manufactured at the GRAU Campus in Germany.

Each cell lists two values: the top row represents the fixed 3500 Kelvin variant, while the bottom row reflects the Color Tune variant ranging from 2700 to 4000 Kelvin. All three luminaires share the same core technology: Beam Lens, asymmetrical light distribution with direct and indirect components, a color rendering index of CRI > 94, motion and daylight sensors, swarm grouping via the GRAU App, and a powder-coated aluminum body.

1. Team Agile: The Slender Companion for Flexible Work Zones

Team Agile is the slimmest of the three office floor lamps. Its L-shaped footprint requires minimal floor space and easily moves wherever the work zone evolves. Delivering 10,000 lumens, it offers the full optical performance of a professional workplace light despite its compact silhouette.

The Beam Lens distributes light asymmetrically: one portion projects downward onto the desk surface, while the larger share is cast upward to the ceiling as indirect light, reflecting softly back into the room. Motion and light sensors adjust brightness and activation autonomously, while swarm grouping allows multiple luminaires to react collectively to their surroundings.

2. Team Pro: Task Lighting for the Double Workstation

Team Pro floor lamp by GRAU illuminates a double workstation with two facing desks

Team Pro is engineered for two opposing desks. With 14,000 lumens, a single luminaire illuminates both desk areas evenly without requiring any ceiling installation. Its slim profile stands between the desks, structuring the zone without overpowering the space.

Via the GRAU App, multiple luminaires can be grouped into an intelligent swarm. They respond collectively to presence and daylight rather than switching individually. In spaces with varying occupancy, this significantly lowers energy consumption without requiring manual adjustments.

Ideal for: Double workstations, desk sharing, open-plan spaces
Light: 14,000 lm at 3500 K or 14,800 lm with Color Tune 2700 to 4000 K, CRI > 94, asymmetrical light distribution with direct and indirect emission
Power and efficiency: 111 W at 126 lm/W; with Color Tune: 111 W at 133 lm/W
Energy efficiency class: E direct and C indirect; with Color Tune: D and C
Control: Smart Switch on the luminaire, GRAU App, motion sensor, daylight sensor, swarm grouping
Setup and material: Free-standing, powder-coated aluminum, 8.8 kg, protection class I, 220 to 240 V, five colors
Price: From €2,050

Team Cowork integrates two luminaire heads onto a single shaft, illuminating a four-desk cluster from a single footprint. 28,000 lumens are distributed across all four workstations at an efficacy of 127 lumens per watt.

Because the fixture stands freely between desks, the cluster can be rearranged without needing to modify the lighting infrastructure. Using swarm grouping, multiple Cowork luminaires form a coherent, responsive ribbon of light across larger floor plans.

Ideal for: Four-desk clusters, benching systems, coworking spaces
Light: 28,000 lm at 3500 K or 29,600 lm with Color Tune 2700 to 4000 K, CRI > 94, asymmetrical light distribution with direct and indirect emission
Power and efficiency: 221 W at 127 lm/W; with Color Tune: 225 W at 132 lm/W
Energy efficiency class: E direct and C indirect; with Color Tune: D and C
Control: Smart Switch on the luminaire, GRAU App, motion sensor, daylight sensor, swarm grouping
Setup and material: Free-standing, powder-coated aluminum, 12 kg, protection class I, 220 to 240 V, five colors
Price: From €3,450

Which Office Floor Lamp Fits Your Workspace?

A single workstation: Team Agile, providing 10,000 lumens within a compact footprint.
Two facing desks: Team Pro, as one 14,000-lumen luminaire illuminates both desk halves seamlessly.
Four desks forming a cluster: Team Cowork, because two heads on a single shaft supply the entire island.
The workstation is a continuous bench: Team Cowork Mini mounts directly to the table structure, with dedicated solutions for Vitra and Lista Office.
Light should follow the natural day cycle: The Color Tune option ranging from 2700 to 4000 Kelvin, available across all three models.
The layout changes frequently: All three fixtures are free-standing and require no ceiling electrical connections.
Budget is the deciding factor: Team Agile starts at 1,750 euros, Team Cowork at 3,450 euros.

Finding the Best Office Floor Lamp: What Matters

Luminous flux in lumens indicates the total light output of a luminaire and serves as the baseline for how many workstations it can cover. At GRAU, output ranges from 10,000 lumens for a single desk up to 28,000 lumens for a four-desk cluster. Even more crucial than output is light distribution: all three models feature asymmetrical optics, directing illumination downward onto the desktop and upward toward the ceiling. The indirect component illuminates the ceiling and upper walls, softening visual contrast throughout the room.

Color rendition (CRI) defines how naturally colors appear beneath the light. All three models achieve CRI > 94, well above standard commercial office criteria. Color temperature sets the visual ambience: 3500 Kelvin provides a crisp, neutral-white baseline, while Color Tune adjusts between 2700 and 4000 Kelvin to align with daytime shifts and task requirements.

During daily operations, luminous efficacy in lumens per watt determines efficiency. It indicates the amount of light generated per watt-hour consumed, reaching between 125 and 134 lm/W across all models. Integrated sensory systems maximize savings: daylight and motion sensors automate dimming and shut-off when spaces are unoccupied or ambient daylight is sufficient. Through the GRAU App, multiple fixtures connect into a swarm that reacts harmoniously.

Two factors frequently overlooked during planning determine long-term total cost of ownership. First, placement: a free-standing luminaire requires no structural ceiling alterations and relocates easily during office reorganizations. Second, circularity: spare parts are available for all Team luminaires, backed by domestic manufacturing in Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many lumens does an office floor lamp need?

It depends on the number of workstations. At GRAU, Team Agile provides 10,000 lumens for a single desk, Team Pro delivers 14,000 lumens for a double workstation, and Team Cowork covers a four-desk cluster with 28,000 lumens. Beyond raw lumen figures, asymmetrical light distribution determines how effectively light reaches the task area.

What is the difference between direct and indirect light?

Direct light shines downward onto the desk surface, whereas indirect light is cast upward to the ceiling and diffuse-reflected back into the space. All three luminaires combine both within an asymmetrical optical system. Indirect illumination brightens the room and balances contrast, while direct light ensures focused clarity at the desk.

What is the difference between 3500 K and Color Tune?

The 3500 Kelvin variant delivers a fixed, neutral-white tone. Color Tune allows continuous adjustments between 2700 and 4000 Kelvin—from warm white to cool daylight white—supporting circadian well-being throughout the workday. Both options are offered for Team Agile, Team Pro, and Team Cowork.

What is the power consumption?

Team Agile consumes 80 watts, Team Pro draws 111 watts, and Team Cowork uses 221 watts. Luminous efficacy ranges from 125 to 134 lumens per watt. Thanks to integrated motion and light sensors, fixtures rarely run at full power during regular daily use.

Floor lamp or desk lamp for the workspace?

An office floor lamp provides both task lighting and general room illumination by reflecting light off the ceiling. For individual desks that do not require ambient ceiling reflection, desk luminaires such as Team Mini and Team Home or the clamp lamp Team Connect offer dedicated alternatives.

Can multiple luminaires be controlled together?

Yes. Using the GRAU App, fixtures are grouped and networked into an intelligent swarm. They react collectively to presence and ambient light levels rather than operating independently.

Are technical spec sheets and planning files available?

Specification sheets, energy labels, and installation guides can be accessed in our Download Area. 3D and OFML planning data are additionally available through pCon.

Where are the luminaires manufactured?

All models are developed and manufactured at the GRAU Campus in Germany.
