Office lighting in Guildford
What we do in Guildford: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Guildford 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.
Local office lighting in Guildford
Meeting rooms are where Guildford 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.
Reception areas in Guildford often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
For Guildford premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
