Commercial lighting design in County Antrim
Commercial lighting design means calculating and specifying luminaires, positions and controls so a space gets the right light for its tasks, meets standards such as BS EN 12464-1 and energy rules such as Part L, and is comfortable to work in. We cover County Antrim, including Belfast, Lisburn and Newtownabbey.
