Office lighting in Garston
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Garston often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Garston
We usually phase office work in Garston over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
For office lighting in Garston 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.
We cover the whole of Garston, including the L19, L24 and L18 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hunts Cross, Allerton and Speke.

Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
