Office lighting in Barkby
What we do in Barkby: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Barkby 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 Barkby
Meeting rooms are where Barkby 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 Barkby range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Our teams travel to Barkby from across Leicestershire. Typical nearby jobs include Humberstone, Leicester and Mountsorrel, so we can often combine survey visits.
