Office lighting in Rayleigh
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh
Meeting rooms are where Rayleigh 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.
We usually phase office work in Rayleigh over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
We cover the whole of Rayleigh, including the SS6, SS7 and SS5 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hadleigh, Hockley and South Benfleet.
