Office lighting in Trimdon
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Trimdon 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.
Local office lighting in Trimdon
If your Trimdon office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Reception areas in Trimdon often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
