Office lighting in Luton
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Luton and Bedfordshire. Meeting rooms are where Luton offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
Local office lighting in Luton
We usually phase office work in Luton over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Many Luton office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Luton is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts LU1, LU2 and LU3. We regularly work across Bedfordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Luton
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
In Great Britain, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Luton FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Luton?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Luton offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Luton?
Most surveys in Luton can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do we need sensors in an office?
They are worth it in meeting rooms, toilets, kitchens and stores, where lights are often left on. Daylight dimming along windows also saves energy in perimeter zones.
