Local office lighting in Stalybridge
Meeting rooms are where Stalybridge 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.
For office lighting in Stalybridge 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.
Stalybridge is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts SK15, SK16 and OL6. We regularly work across Greater Manchester, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Stalybridge FAQs

Yes. We work across Stalybridge and the SK15, SK16 and OL6 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Dukinfield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Hyde.

They are worth it in meeting rooms, toilets, kitchens and stores, where lights are often left on. Daylight dimming along windows also saves energy in perimeter zones.
