Office lighting in Sketty
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Sketty 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 Sketty
Offices in Sketty range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
If your Sketty office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Our teams travel to Sketty from across West Glamorgan. Typical nearby jobs include Swansea, Penderry and Bishopston, so we can often combine survey visits.
