Office lighting in Canary Wharf
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. If your Canary Wharf office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Local office lighting in Canary Wharf
Many Canary Wharf 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 Canary Wharf 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.
We cover the whole of Canary Wharf, including the E14, SE16 and E3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Limehouse, Blackwall and Stepney.
