Office lighting in County Antrim
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 County Antrim, including Belfast, Lisburn and Newtownabbey.
Office lighting work in County Antrim
Reception areas in County Antrim often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
For office lighting in County Antrim 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.
What's included
- Layouts that hit around 500 lux on desks with low glare on screens
- LED panels, linear suspended fittings or downlights to suit your ceilings
- Out-of-hours installation so desks stay usable during the working day
- Presence detection in meeting rooms, toilets and stores

Rules that apply in County Antrim
Technical Booklet F2 (June 2022) and its non-domestic guidance set Northern Ireland's own lighting efficacy figures, which differ from England's, so we design to the NI figures.
Northern Ireland followed the EU timetable, with ordinary T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes phased out from August 2023.

Office lighting FAQs for County Antrim
How are prices set in County Antrim?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in County Antrim?
Technical Booklet F2 sets the efficiency that new lighting in County Antrim must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
How many lux does an office need?
BS EN 12464-1:2021 gives 500 lux maintained on the task area for writing, reading and data processing. Surrounding areas, corridors and break-out spaces can be lower. The standard also sets limits for glare and uniformity.
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.
