Office lighting in Bournemouth
What we do in Bournemouth: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Bournemouth 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.
Local office lighting in Bournemouth
Offices in Bournemouth range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
We usually phase office work in Bournemouth over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
We cover the whole of Bournemouth, including the BH2, BH4 and BH1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Christchurch, Poole and Ferndown.
