Office lighting in Lincolnshire
Office lighting is the design and installation of luminaires that light desks, meeting rooms, circulation areas and receptions to the right level without glare. We cover Lincolnshire, including Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
Office lighting work in Lincolnshire
For office lighting in Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire 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.
What's included
- Daylight dimming along window bays
- Layouts that hit around 500 lux on desks with low glare on screens
- Out-of-hours installation so desks stay usable during the working day
- Presence detection in meeting rooms, toilets and stores
