Office lighting in Alness
What we do in Alness: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Alness 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 Alness
If your Alness office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Many Alness office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For Alness premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Alness by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
