Office lighting in Hove
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. If your Hove office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Local office lighting in Hove
We usually phase office work in Hove over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Meeting rooms are where Hove 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.
Hove is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts BN3, BN1 and BN41. We regularly work across East Sussex, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
