Office lighting in Sleaford
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Sleaford often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Sleaford
Many Sleaford office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For office lighting in Sleaford 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.
Our teams travel to Sleaford from across Lincolnshire. Typical nearby jobs include Dunston, Great Gonerby and Grantham, so we can often combine survey visits.
