Office lighting in Castleton
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many Castleton office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in Castleton
For office lighting in Castleton 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 Castleton 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.
Castleton is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district DT9. We regularly work across Dorset, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
