Office lighting in Hedge End
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Hedge End and Hampshire. If your Hedge End office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Local office lighting in Hedge End
Reception areas in Hedge End often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
For office lighting in Hedge End 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.
Our teams travel to Hedge End from across Hampshire. Typical nearby jobs include Locks Heath, Bishopstoke and Eastleigh, so we can often combine survey visits.

How quickly can you survey in Hedge End?
Most surveys in Hedge End can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.

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.
