The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
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.
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.
