Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Offices in Fordingbridge range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Local office lighting in Fordingbridge
We usually phase office work in Fordingbridge over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Meeting rooms are where Fordingbridge 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.
Fordingbridge is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district SP6. We regularly work across Hampshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
