Office lighting in Highbury
What we do in Highbury: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Highbury often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Highbury
For office lighting in Highbury 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 Highbury office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
We cover the whole of Highbury, including the N5, N7 and N1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Islington, Holloway and Stamford Hill.
