Office lighting in Eastleigh
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. If your Eastleigh office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Local office lighting in Eastleigh
Reception areas in Eastleigh often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Meeting rooms are where Eastleigh 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.
Eastleigh sits within Hampshire. We work throughout the SO50, SO53 and SO18 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Bishopstoke, North Baddesley and Hedge End.

Who does the work in Eastleigh?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Panels or linear pendants?
Recessed 600×600 panels suit suspended grid ceilings and are the simplest swap. Linear suspended fittings suit exposed soffits and can light both the desk and the ceiling, which makes a space feel brighter.
