Office lighting in Hoddesdon
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Hoddesdon 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 Hoddesdon
Offices in Hoddesdon range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Many Hoddesdon office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
We cover the whole of Hoddesdon, including the EN11, EN10 and SG13 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Ware, Hertford and Cheshunt.
