Local office lighting in Coulsdon
For office lighting in Coulsdon 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.
If your Coulsdon office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Our teams travel to Coulsdon from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Purley, Banstead and Wallington, so we can often combine survey visits.
