Office lighting in Croydon
What we do in Croydon: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many Croydon office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in Croydon
For office lighting in Croydon 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.
Meeting rooms are where Croydon 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.
We cover the whole of Croydon, including the CR7, CR0 and CR9 postcode districts, and nearby places such as South Croydon, South Norwood and Upper Norwood.
