Commercial lighting design in Fife
Commercial lighting design means calculating and specifying luminaires, positions and controls so a space gets the right light for its tasks, meets standards such as BS EN 12464-1 and energy rules such as Part L, and is comfortable to work in. We cover Fife, including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.

Commercial lighting design FAQs for Fife
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Fife?
Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the efficiency that new lighting in Fife must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which towns in Fife do you cover?
All of Fife, including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
Do I need a lighting design for an LED upgrade?
For a like-for-like swap in a simple office, a survey is often enough. For new layouts, warehouses, sports areas or where light levels are disputed, a calculated design avoids getting it wrong.
Can you design and install?
