Office lighting in Bethnal Green
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Bethnal Green 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.

Many Bethnal Green office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For Bethnal Green premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.

Recessed 600×600 panels suit suspended grid ceilings and are the simplest swap. Linear suspended fittings suit exposed soffits and can light both the desk and the ceiling, which makes a space feel brighter.
