Office lighting in Hatfield
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Hatfield 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.
Local office lighting in Hatfield
Meeting rooms are where Hatfield 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.
Many Hatfield office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Our teams travel to Hatfield from across Hertfordshire. Typical nearby jobs include Welwyn Garden City, Sandridge and St Albans, so we can often combine survey visits.
