Office lighting in Clifton
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Clifton 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 Clifton
We usually phase office work in Clifton over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Reception areas in Clifton often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
For Clifton premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
