Office lighting in Mallaig

Local office lighting in Mallaig
Reception areas in Mallaig often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Meeting rooms are where Mallaig 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.
Our teams travel to Mallaig from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Arisaig, Isle of Eigg and Isle of Rum, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Mallaig 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.
