Office lighting in Chawleigh
What we do in Chawleigh: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Chawleigh often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Chawleigh
For office lighting in Chawleigh 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 Chawleigh over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
We cover the whole of Chawleigh, including the EX18 postcode district, and nearby places such as Dowland, High Bickington and Bishops Nympton.
