Office lighting in Walkerburn
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many Walkerburn office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in Walkerburn
Reception areas in Walkerburn often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
For office lighting in Walkerburn 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.
Walkerburn is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts EH43 and EH44. We regularly work across the Scottish Borders, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
