The definition for "office" is the specific place which provide working places for government office, business organizations, and department to deal with specific business. Different units and departments have different requirement for office space and ambience.

In addition, the deeper research about commercial office which based on the light source type, illumination angle, irradiation method, intensity requirement of illumination and lighting control. It is clear to say, the modern commercial office space lighting has satisfied the requirement for ordinary light, the business development of commercial office boost its individual requirements, the office itself is not only relay on normal lighting but also more focused on the characterization of space itself. What’s more, it already become a window for foreign exchange.

Light and shadow is the visual elements for indoor atmosphere, the light source and its relationship to the light irradiation angle constitute the entire objects and space. Therefore, the research is focus on the form of light and shadow. On the other hand, the office is a common environment for normal people. In this case, the design of lighting must be fit the physical requirement of human. Therefore, the pre-condition of arrangement of office space illumination and the light design must meet most people’s requirement; set it to a working place which integrate functional, aesthetic and energy saving in order to increase working efficiency.The paper includes five chapters, chapter Ⅰ is the research background; chapter Ⅱ is related theories of commercial office space, the most question is to solve the "the light for whom" in the commercial office space; chapter Ⅲ is the analysis of the commercial offices lighting design of the space form different office space color、 modelling and contact between material and skin texture and lighting to solve the problem of "the light for what"; chapter Ⅳ is to solve the problem of "how to light the lighting" in the light design, and the commercial office space lighting design strategy; chapter Ⅴ is the conclusion and outlook.
