Office lighting in Allendale
What we do in Allendale: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Allendale often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Allendale
If your Allendale office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
For office lighting in Allendale 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.
For Allendale premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
