Office lighting in Denton
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Denton 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 Denton
If your Denton office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Offices in Denton range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
For Denton premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
