Office lighting in Stratford
What we do in Stratford: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Stratford 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 Stratford
Meeting rooms are where Stratford 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 usually phase office work in Stratford over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Stratford is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts E15, E3 and E13. We regularly work across Greater London, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
