Local office lighting in Rhiwbina
For office lighting in Rhiwbina 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.
Offices in Rhiwbina range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Our teams travel to Rhiwbina from across South Glamorgan. Typical nearby jobs include Pentwyn, Cardiff and Ely, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rhiwbina FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Rhiwbina?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Rhiwbina offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Rhiwbina?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Rhiwbina?
Yes. We work across Rhiwbina and the CF14, CF23 and CF24 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Pentwyn, Cardiff and Ely.
Panels or linear pendants?
Recessed 600×600 panels suit suspended grid ceilings and are the simplest swap. Linear suspended fittings suit exposed soffits and can light both the desk and the ceiling, which makes a space feel brighter.
