Office lighting in West Acre
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across West Acre and Norfolk. For office lighting in West Acre 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.
Local office lighting in West Acre
Reception areas in West Acre often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Meeting rooms are where West Acre 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.
West Acre sits within Norfolk. We work throughout the PE32 postcode district and surrounding places, including Swaffham, Sandringham and Shouldham.

They are worth it in meeting rooms, toilets, kitchens and stores, where lights are often left on. Daylight dimming along windows also saves energy in perimeter zones.
