Commercial lighting design in Shropshire
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 Shropshire, including Telford, Shrewsbury and Loughton.
Commercial lighting design work in Shropshire
For Shropshire projects with new layouts or tall spaces we model the lighting first, so the fittings ordered actually hit the target lux.
A calculated design gives Shropshire building control or landlords the efficacy evidence they ask for.
What's included
- Drawings and schedules for tender or installation
- Control strategy and zoning
- Part L or national efficacy evidence
- Lux calculations and plots for each area

Commercial lighting design FAQs for Shropshire
How are prices set in Shropshire?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Shropshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Shropshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
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?
Yes. Most clients ask us to design and install so one team is responsible for the result.
