Office lighting in Groby
What we do in Groby: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many Groby office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in Groby
For office lighting in Groby 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.
Meeting rooms are where Groby 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.
Our teams travel to Groby from across Leicestershire. Typical nearby jobs include Braunstone, Leicester and Mountsorrel, so we can often combine survey visits.
