Office lighting in County Down
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 Down, including Bangor, Newtownards and Newry.
Office lighting work in County Down
Meeting rooms are where County Down 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.
If your County Down office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
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
- Emergency lighting checked and integrated with the new layout

Rules that apply in County Down
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 Down
What energy rules apply to new lighting in County Down?
Technical Booklet F2 sets the efficiency that new lighting in County Down must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which fire safety law applies in County Down?
The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
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.
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.
