Office lighting in Melksham
What we do in Melksham: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Melksham over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Melksham
For office lighting in Melksham 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.
Reception areas in Melksham often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Our teams travel to Melksham from across Wiltshire. Typical nearby jobs include Neston, Trowbridge and Bradford-on-Avon, so we can often combine survey visits.
