Office lighting in Alton
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Alton over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Alton
Meeting rooms are where Alton 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 Alton 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.
Alton is a substantial town, covered by postcode district GU34. We regularly work across Hampshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
