Office lighting in Gillingham
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Gillingham and Kent. For office lighting in Gillingham 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.
Local office lighting in Gillingham
Reception areas in Gillingham often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
If your Gillingham office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
For Gillingham premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Gillingham FAQs
Do you cover all of Gillingham?
Yes. We work across Gillingham and the ME7, ME4 and ME1 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Chatham, Rochester and Hoo St Werburgh.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Gillingham?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do we need sensors in an office?
They are worth it in meeting rooms, toilets, kitchens and stores, where lights are often left on. Daylight dimming along windows also saves energy in perimeter zones.
