Office lighting in Dorking
What we do in Dorking: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Reception areas in Dorking often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Dorking
For office lighting in Dorking 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 Dorking range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
For Dorking premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
