Local office lighting in Aldham
Reception areas in Aldham often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Meeting rooms are where Aldham 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.
Our teams travel to Aldham from across Suffolk. Typical nearby jobs include Sproughton, Hemingstone and Stowmarket, so we can often combine survey visits.
