Office lighting in Carshalton
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Carshalton and Greater London. For office lighting in Carshalton 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.
Local office lighting in Carshalton
Reception areas in Carshalton often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Meeting rooms are where Carshalton 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.
Our teams travel to Carshalton from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Wallington, Sutton and Mitcham, so we can often combine survey visits.

Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do we need sensors in an office?
They are worth it in meeting rooms, toilets, kitchens and stores, where lights are often left on. Daylight dimming along windows also saves energy in perimeter zones.
