Local office lighting in Ditton
Many Ditton office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For office lighting in Ditton 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.
Our teams travel to Ditton from across Kent. Typical nearby jobs include Snodland, West Malling and Maidstone, so we can often combine survey visits.
