Office lighting in Newtownards
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Newtownards often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Newtownards
If your Newtownards office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Many Newtownards 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 Newtownards from across County Down. Typical nearby jobs include Comber, Dundonald and Bangor, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Newtownards
Technical Booklet F2 (June 2022) and its non-domestic guidance set Northern Ireland's own lighting efficacy figures, which differ from England's, so we design to the NI figures.
Northern Ireland followed the EU timetable, with ordinary T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes phased out from August 2023.
