Office lighting in Eastbourne
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Eastbourne often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Eastbourne
If your Eastbourne office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
For office lighting in Eastbourne 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.
For Eastbourne premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
