Office lighting in Manston
What we do in Manston: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Manston often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Manston
For office lighting in Manston 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.
Many Manston office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Manston sits within Kent. We work throughout the CT12, CT11 and CT10 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Ramsgate, Saint Peters and Margate.
