What we do in Loughton: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Loughton 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.

Meeting rooms are where Loughton 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.
