Office lighting in Northampton
What we do in Northampton: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Northampton 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 Northampton
Offices in Northampton range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Meeting rooms are where Northampton 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.
For Northampton premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
