Office lighting in Consett
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Consett often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Consett
Meeting rooms are where Consett 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.
Many Consett office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For Consett premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
