Office lighting in Alloa
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Alloa 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.
Local office lighting in Alloa
Many Alloa office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For office lighting in Alloa 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.
Alloa is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts FK10, FK12 and FK13. We regularly work across Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
