What we do in South Benfleet: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many South Benfleet office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in South Benfleet
For office lighting in South Benfleet 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.
Reception areas in South Benfleet often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
