-
The bower area in the center of the library provides a sense of openness with a two level atrium. The area is lit with LEDioc LED EYE LAMP SP-W lights (incandescent), creating a lighting environment with a relaxed atmosphere.
-
A view of the bower area in the center of the library from the second floor. The led lighting promotes power savings while achieving increased brightness.
-
A combination of crystal shades and LEDioc LED EYE LAMP SP-W lights makes for a comfortable light with no sense of glare.

A view of the exterior of the No. 7 Building, which has an impressive design with a gentle slope of natural turf leading up to the rooftop and imparting a sense of continuity with its richly verdant surrounds.
Located on the campus of Kanda University of International Studies, the No.7 Building was completed in September of 2008, and is an educational facility for studying foreign languages and communication. The first floor has a library, while the second floor has a mock-exchange space MULC (Multilingual Communication Center), as well as a hall and seminar rooms, and the third floor has a cafe. The fourth floor serves as the entrance to the rooftop garden, which offers a panoramic view of the richly verdant campus in its entirety from the terrace. In September of last year, work took place at Kanda University of International Studies to change the lighting for the first-floor library to LED, with the high-ceiling lighting that lights what is called the bower area in the center just inside the entrance to the library being upgraded to LED lighting. The previous lighting used 150W metal halide lamps suspended on chain fixtures, but they were changed to LED because they weren't very bright and were work-intensive when the lamps had to be changed. 100W LEDioc LED EYE LAMP SP-W lights compliant with crystal shades (EYE CRYSTAL BEAM) were installed in the same positions, with an incandescent color used in order to respect the warm and comfortable atmosphere. It is believed that the atmosphere has been preserved while achieving increased brightness together with power and maintenance savings.
