Office lighting in Shildon
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Shildon and County Durham. For office lighting in Shildon 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.
Local office lighting in Shildon
Reception areas in Shildon often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
If your Shildon office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Shildon is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts DL4, DL14 and DL5. We regularly work across County Durham, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
