Office lighting in Kilby
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Kilby over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Kilby
Reception areas in Kilby often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Meeting rooms are where Kilby 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.
Kilby is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts LE8, LE18 and LE2. We regularly work across Leicestershire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
