I'll be honest, I have a really hard time answering this question because I've been through this several times with our own locations, and hundreds (or more) of times with spaces I've advised. *Every time the number is different.* Other peoples' numbers can be very, very deceptive because they don

Hi. Another alternative is to use fluorescent lights, or their LED equivalents, as Liz mentioned. I find them quite good to provide a general, “ambient” light for the entire office. I had assumed that track lights would cause some hot/cold spots, but it seems that even if they were to do so, so

Alex, this is incredibly helpful. Thank you! I'm going to take it back to my interior designer and see what she can do... Jen On Wednesday, February 28, 2018 at 5:36:08 PM UTC-6, Alex Hillman wrote: > > Oh boy, did we ever do a lot of research. > > After flooring, electrical was our second big

Oh boy, did we ever do a lot of research. After flooring, electrical was our second biggest expense in our 2016 fit out and lighting was a large and ridiculously painful part that I was determined to get right. We goofed on a few things in round 1, and got right in round 2😅 But I learned a ton

Hey all, my landlord is asking for a lighting plan so he can get a sense of budget for the buildout...but this is not my forte. What kind of lights do you guys use in a) open work areas and b) private offices? Currently there are a ton of track lights installed (it's a former gallery space) but
