Office lighting in Thame
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Thame 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 Thame
Offices in Thame range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
For office lighting in Thame 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 Thame premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
