Office lighting in Dalgety Bay
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Dalgety Bay over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Dalgety Bay
Meeting rooms are where Dalgety Bay 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.
For office lighting in Dalgety Bay 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.
Dalgety Bay sits within Fife. We work throughout the KY11 and EH30 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Inverkeithing, Rosyth and Queensferry.
