Office lighting in Allerton
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Offices in Allerton range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Local office lighting in Allerton
We usually phase office work in Allerton over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Meeting rooms are where Allerton 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.
Allerton sits within Merseyside. We work throughout the L19, L18 and L25 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Hunts Cross, Belle Vale and Garston.
