Office lighting in Alford
What we do in Alford: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Alford we design to about 500 lux on desks, as BS EN 12464-1 suggests, and keep glare off screens by choosing the right optics rather than simply adding more light.
