Office lighting in Humberstone
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Humberstone 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 Humberstone
Offices in Humberstone range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Many Humberstone 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 Humberstone, including the LE5, LE4 and LE1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Leicester, Barkby and Oadby.
