Office lighting in Heriot
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Heriot 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 Heriot
We usually phase office work in Heriot over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
If your Heriot office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Heriot is a smaller town, covered by postcode district EH38. We regularly work across the Scottish Borders, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
