Office lighting in Gatehead
What we do in Gatehead: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Gatehead 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.
Local office lighting in Gatehead
If your Gatehead office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Meeting rooms are where Gatehead 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.
Our teams travel to Gatehead from across Ayrshire. Typical nearby jobs include Kilmarnock, Irvine and Troon, so we can often combine survey visits.
