Commercial lighting design in Somerset
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 Somerset, including Mendip, Bath and Weston-super-Mare.

For Somerset 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 Somerset building control or landlords the efficacy evidence they ask for.
