Office lighting in Gretna
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many Gretna 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 Gretna
For office lighting in Gretna 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.
If your Gretna office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
We cover the whole of Gretna, including the DG16 postcode district, and nearby places such as Kirklinton, Annan and Carlisle.
