Office lighting in Rushden
What we do in Rushden: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Rushden over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Rushden
For office lighting in Rushden 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 Rushden office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Rushden sits within Northamptonshire. We work throughout the NN10, NN9 and NN29 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Irthlingborough, Wollaston and Wellingborough.
