Local office lighting in Pencaitland
Many Pencaitland office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Meeting rooms are where Pencaitland 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.
Pencaitland sits within Edinburgh and the Lothians. We work throughout the EH34, EH35 and EH33 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Ormiston, Tranent and Humbie.

Yes. We work across Pencaitland and the EH34, EH35 and EH33 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Ormiston, Tranent and Humbie.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Panels or linear pendants?
Recessed 600×600 panels suit suspended grid ceilings and are the simplest swap. Linear suspended fittings suit exposed soffits and can light both the desk and the ceiling, which makes a space feel brighter.
