Office lighting in Chippenham
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where Chippenham 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 Chippenham
We usually phase office work in Chippenham over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
If your Chippenham office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
For Chippenham premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
