Office lighting in Battersea
What we do in Battersea: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many Battersea 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 Battersea
We usually phase office work in Battersea over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
For office lighting in Battersea 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.
For Battersea premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
