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