Office lighting in Chesterton
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Chesterton often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Chesterton
For office lighting in Chesterton 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.
Offices in Chesterton range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Our teams travel to Chesterton from across Oxfordshire. Typical nearby jobs include Bicester, Fringford and Kidlington, so we can often combine survey visits.
