Office lighting in Faversham
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many Faversham office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in Faversham
For office lighting in Faversham 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.
If your Faversham office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Our teams travel to Faversham from across Kent. Typical nearby jobs include Whitstable, Sittingbourne and Canterbury, so we can often combine survey visits.
