Office lighting in Ferryhill
What we do in Ferryhill: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Ferryhill often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Ferryhill
If your Ferryhill office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Meeting rooms are where Ferryhill 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.
We cover the whole of Ferryhill, including the DL17 and DL16 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Spennymoor, Newton Aycliffe and Trimdon.
