Office lighting in Newburn
What we do in Newburn: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many Newburn office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in Newburn
Reception areas in Newburn often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Meeting rooms are where Newburn 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.
Newburn is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts NE15, NE40 and NE21. We regularly work across Tyne and Wear, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
