Office lighting in Marlingford
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Marlingford over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Marlingford
Many Marlingford 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 Marlingford 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.
Marlingford sits within Norfolk. We work throughout the NR9 postcode district and surrounding places, including Wymondham, Bowthorpe and Taverham.

How quickly can you survey in Marlingford?
Most surveys in Marlingford can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Panels or linear pendants?
Recessed 600×600 panels suit suspended grid ceilings and are the simplest swap. Linear suspended fittings suit exposed soffits and can light both the desk and the ceiling, which makes a space feel brighter.
