Office lighting in Maidstone
What we do in Maidstone: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Maidstone 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 Maidstone
If your Maidstone office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Offices in Maidstone range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
We cover the whole of Maidstone, including the ME16, ME15 and ME14 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Ditton, West Farleigh and Leeds.
