Office lighting in Kingsbridge
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Kingsbridge over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Kingsbridge
For office lighting in Kingsbridge 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.
Reception areas in Kingsbridge often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Kingsbridge is a local centre, covered by postcode districts TQ7 and TQ8. We regularly work across Devon, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
