Office lighting in Peterborough
What we do in Peterborough: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Peterborough 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 Peterborough
If your Peterborough office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Offices in Peterborough range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
We cover the whole of Peterborough, including the PE1, PE2 and PE3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Farcet, Ailsworth and Deeping St James.
