If I order my materials will it be cheaper?
Depending on the work that needs completing, you may be able to order your own materials. However, we would always advise against this as it is best to use the materials that the team use as they will come at a discounted price as well as being a high grade, which will inevitably last longer.

What is Unified glare Rating?
Unified Glare Rating, also known as UGR, is used to measure how much glare is emitted from luminaires (an electric light unit). It is used in the workplace to determine whether glares will cause discomfort to individuals exposed to the luminaire, particularly in settings where staff work on computer monitors. Failing to consider the UGR of lights can impact the well-being of your workforce, causing vision fatigue or nausea, for example.
What is the difference between UGR22 and UGR19?
Items that fall under the UGR19 category mean that they have a Unified Glare Rating of 19 or under, and those under UGR22 will have a rating of 22 or less. The higher the rating, the more glare there will be from the light source, so which option business owners opt for will depend on their workplace setting. For example, office environments will have lighting in the UGR19 range as the constant use of computer monitors will have to be considered. Industrial buildings, on the other hand, will opt for UGR22 as a brighter, clearer light will be necessary. For more guidance on which UGR is best for your workplace, please contact our knowledgeable team.
