Office lighting in Allington
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Allington and Dorset. Many Allington office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.

If your Allington office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
For office lighting in Allington 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.
