Office lighting in St Ives
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Meeting rooms are where St Ives 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 St Ives
For office lighting in St Ives we design to about 500 lux on desks, as BS EN 12464-1 suggests, and keep glare off screens by choosing the right optics rather than simply adding more light.
Offices in St Ives range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
We cover the whole of St Ives, including the TR26 and TR27 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hayle, Marazion and Penzance.

Rules that apply in St Ives
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.
St Ives FAQs
Can you work out of hours in St Ives?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for St Ives offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in St Ives?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of St Ives?
Yes. We work across St Ives and the TR26 and TR27 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Hayle, Marazion and Penzance.
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.
