Office lighting in Hardwick

Local office lighting in Hardwick
We usually phase office work in Hardwick over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
For office lighting in Hardwick 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.
For Hardwick premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
