Office lighting in Poole
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Poole 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 Poole
Many Poole office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
We usually phase office work in Poole over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
We cover the whole of Poole, including the BH15, BH14 and BH17 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Upton, Bournemouth and Wimborne Minster.
