Office lighting in Maldon
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Maldon 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 Maldon
We usually phase office work in Maldon over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Many Maldon office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
We cover the whole of Maldon, including the CM9 and CM3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Danbury, Witham and Southminster.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Maldon?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
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.
