Office lighting in North Sunderland
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in North Sunderland over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in North Sunderland
Meeting rooms are where North Sunderland 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 North Sunderland often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Our teams travel to North Sunderland from across Northumberland. Typical nearby jobs include Ellingham, Bamburgh and Belford, so we can often combine survey visits.
