Office lighting in Wylam
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Wylam 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.
Local office lighting in Wylam
Many Wylam office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For office lighting in Wylam 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 Wylam premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
