Office lighting in Bury
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. If your Bury office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Local office lighting in Bury
Many Bury 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 Bury 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.
Bury is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts BL9, BL8 and M26. We regularly work across Greater Manchester, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
