Office lighting in Wareham
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. If your Wareham office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Local office lighting in Wareham
Many Wareham office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For office lighting in Wareham 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.
Wareham is a smaller town, covered by postcode district BH20. We regularly work across Dorset, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
