Office lighting in Nottingham
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Offices in Nottingham range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Local office lighting in Nottingham
Reception areas in Nottingham often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
For office lighting in Nottingham 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.
Nottingham is one of the larger places we cover, covered by postcode districts NG1, NG7 and NG3. We regularly work across Nottinghamshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
