Office lighting in Cambridgeshire
Office lighting is the design and installation of luminaires that light desks, meeting rooms, circulation areas and receptions to the right level without glare. We cover Cambridgeshire, including Peterborough, Cambridge and Wisbech.
Office lighting work in Cambridgeshire
Many Cambridgeshire office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
We usually phase office work in Cambridgeshire over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
What's included
- Out-of-hours installation so desks stay usable during the working day
- Presence detection in meeting rooms, toilets and stores
- Emergency lighting checked and integrated with the new layout
- LED panels, linear suspended fittings or downlights to suit your ceilings

Office lighting FAQs for Cambridgeshire
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Cambridgeshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Cambridgeshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
How are prices set in Cambridgeshire?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
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.
