Office lighting in Peterlee
What we do in Peterlee: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Peterlee over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Peterlee
For office lighting in Peterlee 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.
Many Peterlee office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Peterlee sits within County Durham. We work throughout the SR8, TS28 and TS27 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Hutton Henry, Monk Hesleden and Trimdon.
