Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Stromness 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.
Local office lighting in Stromness
Offices in Stromness range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Reception areas in Stromness often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Stromness is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district KW16. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Stromness 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.
