If your Broughton West office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
For office lighting in Broughton West 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.
