Office lighting in Montrose
What we do in Montrose: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Montrose over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Montrose
For office lighting in Montrose 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 Montrose 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.
Montrose is a local centre, covered by postcode district DD10. We regularly work across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
