Lighting controls work in Norfolk
In Norfolk buildings, the quickest control savings usually come from presence detection in rooms that are used for only part of the day.

Lighting controls FAQs for Norfolk
How are prices set in Norfolk?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
Which fire safety law applies in Norfolk?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
What is DALI?
DALI is a digital lighting control standard that lets each fitting be addressed, dimmed and grouped individually, with scenes and fault reporting.
How much do lighting controls save?
Controls save energy only when they reduce output or hours. In meeting rooms, toilets, stores and aisles that are often empty, the saving can be large; in a busy open-plan office less so.
