Office lighting in Barmouth
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Barmouth over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Barmouth
For office lighting in Barmouth 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.
Meeting rooms are where Barmouth 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.
Barmouth is a local centre, covered by postcode districts LL42, LL38 and LL39. We regularly work across Gwynedd, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
