Office lighting in Appleton
What we do in Appleton: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Appleton often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Appleton
For office lighting in Appleton 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.
Offices in Appleton range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Appleton is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts WA4, WA1 and WA2. We regularly work across Cheshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
