Office lighting in Newton Abbot
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Newton Abbot 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.
Local office lighting in Newton Abbot
We usually phase office work in Newton Abbot over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Meeting rooms are where Newton Abbot 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.
