What we do in Seaham: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Seaham often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.

Modern office meeting area lit by suspended linear LED fittings

Local office lighting in Seaham

For office lighting in Seaham 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.

Offices in Seaham range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.

We cover the whole of Seaham, including the SR7, SR2 and SR3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Houghton-Le-Spring, Sunderland and Peterlee.
