Office lighting in Aberdeen
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. If your Aberdeen office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Local office lighting in Aberdeen
We usually phase office work in Aberdeen over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Reception areas in Aberdeen often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Aberdeen is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts AB11, AB25 and AB10. We regularly work across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Aberdeen FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Can you work out of hours in Aberdeen?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Aberdeen offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Aberdeen?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How many lux does an office need?
BS EN 12464-1:2021 gives 500 lux maintained on the task area for writing, reading and data processing. Surrounding areas, corridors and break-out spaces can be lower. The standard also sets limits for glare and uniformity.
