Office lighting in Sandridge
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Offices in Sandridge 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 Sandridge
We usually phase office work in Sandridge over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
For office lighting in Sandridge 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.
For Sandridge premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
