Commercial lighting design FAQs for Gwynedd
Which fire safety law applies in Gwynedd?
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 energy rules apply to new lighting in Gwynedd?
The Welsh Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Gwynedd must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Can you design and install?
Yes. Most clients ask us to design and install so one team is responsible for the result.
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.
