Office lighting in Chiswick
What we do in Chiswick: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Chiswick 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 Chiswick
Many Chiswick 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 Chiswick 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 Chiswick, including the W4, W3 and W6 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Acton, Barnes and Shepherds Bush.
