Office lighting in Chester
What we do in Chester: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Chester 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.
Local office lighting in Chester
Many Chester office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
If your Chester office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
For Chester premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
