Office lighting in Broad Clyst
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Broad Clyst and Devon. Offices in Broad Clyst range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Local office lighting in Broad Clyst
For office lighting in Broad Clyst 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.
If your Broad Clyst office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Broad Clyst is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts EX5, EX1 and EX4. We regularly work across Devon, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Broad Clyst
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.
Broad Clyst FAQs

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Broad Clyst?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can you work out of hours in Broad Clyst?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Broad Clyst offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
