Office lighting in Chorley
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Chorley 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 Chorley
Many Chorley office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Meeting rooms are where Chorley 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.
Chorley sits within Lancashire. We work throughout the PR6, PR7 and PR25 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Horwich, Leyland and Bamber Bridge.

Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
