Office lighting in Colan
What we do in Colan: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Colan 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 Colan 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 usually phase office work in Colan over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Colan is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts TR8 and TR7. We regularly work across Cornwall, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
