Office lighting in Whitstable
What we do in Whitstable: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Whitstable 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 Whitstable
Meeting rooms are where Whitstable 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.
Many Whitstable office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
We cover the whole of Whitstable, including the CT5 postcode district, and nearby places such as Herne Bay, Canterbury and Faversham.
