Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Nelson over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Nelson
Meeting rooms are where Nelson 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.
Offices in Nelson 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 Nelson, including the BB9, BB8 and BB10 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Colne, Burnley and Ightenhill.
