Local office lighting in Upper Poppleton
For office lighting in Upper Poppleton 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.
Many Upper Poppleton office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For Upper Poppleton premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
