Lighting controls FAQs for Surrey
How are prices set in Surrey?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
Which towns in Surrey do you cover?
All of Surrey, including Woking, Guildford and Esher. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
How much do lighting controls save?
Controls save energy only when they reduce output or hours. In meeting rooms, toilets, stores and aisles that are often empty, the saving can be large; in a busy open-plan office less so.
What is DALI?
DALI is a digital lighting control standard that lets each fitting be addressed, dimmed and grouped individually, with scenes and fault reporting.
