Office lighting in Colyton
What we do in Colyton: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Colyton over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Colyton
For office lighting in Colyton 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.
Meeting rooms are where Colyton 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.
Colyton sits within Devon. We work throughout the EX24 and EX12 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Seaton, Axminster and Lyme Regis.
