Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Otley 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.
Local office lighting in Otley
Offices in Otley range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Reception areas in Otley often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Otley is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts LS21, LS20 and LS19. We regularly work across West Yorkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
