Office lighting in Dover
What we do in Dover: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Offices in Dover 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 Dover
We usually phase office work in Dover over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
For office lighting in Dover 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.
We cover the whole of Dover, including the CT17, CT16 and CT15 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Whitfield, Folkestone and Hawkinge.
