Local office lighting in Innerleithen
Reception areas in Innerleithen often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Many Innerleithen office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For Innerleithen premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
