Office lighting in St Agnes
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where St Agnes 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 St Agnes
If your St Agnes office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Many St Agnes office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Our teams travel to St Agnes from across Cornwall. Typical nearby jobs include Perranporth, Kenwyn and Redruth, so we can often combine survey visits.
