Local office lighting in Osmaston
For office lighting in Osmaston 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.
We usually phase office work in Osmaston over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Osmaston is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district DE6. We regularly work across Derbyshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
