Office lighting in Newhaven
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Newhaven and East Sussex. For office lighting in Newhaven 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.
Local office lighting in Newhaven
Reception areas in Newhaven often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Meeting rooms are where Newhaven 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.
Newhaven is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts BN9, BN10 and BN25. We regularly work across East Sussex, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
