Office lighting in Milltimber
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many Milltimber office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in Milltimber
For office lighting in Milltimber 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.
Meeting rooms are where Milltimber offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
We cover the whole of Milltimber, including the AB13, AB14 and AB15 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Westhill, Portlethen and Aberdeen.
