Office lighting in Kettering
What we do in Kettering: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Kettering 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 Kettering
Meeting rooms are where Kettering 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.
Reception areas in Kettering often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
We cover the whole of Kettering, including the NN16, NN15 and NN14 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Warkton, Wellingborough and Corby.
