Office lighting FAQs for Argyll and Bute
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Argyll and Bute?
Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the efficiency that new lighting in Argyll and Bute must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which towns in Argyll and Bute do you cover?
All of Argyll and Bute, including Ardrishaig, Ballygrant and Bowmore. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
Can you work outside office hours?
Yes. Most office projects are done in the evening or at weekends, a zone at a time, so staff come back to a working floor.
Panels or linear pendants?
Recessed 600×600 panels suit suspended grid ceilings and are the simplest swap. Linear suspended fittings suit exposed soffits and can light both the desk and the ceiling, which makes a space feel brighter.
