Office lighting in Edinburgh
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Edinburgh and Edinburgh and the Lothians. If your Edinburgh office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Local office lighting in Edinburgh
Meeting rooms are where Edinburgh 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.
Reception areas in Edinburgh often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Our teams travel to Edinburgh from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Typical nearby jobs include Granton and Trinity, Leith and Morningside, Braid Hill and Swanston, so we can often combine survey visits.

Rules that apply in Edinburgh
Standard 6.5 of the Scottish building standards covers efficient, controllable lighting. The non-domestic guidance uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, or LENI.
In Great Britain, including Scotland, 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.
Scotland does not use the England and Wales EPC E letting rule. Instead, some non-domestic buildings over 1,000 m² need an action plan when sold or let, under Section 63 regulations.
Edinburgh FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
How quickly can you survey in Edinburgh?
Most surveys in Edinburgh can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you remove the old fittings in Edinburgh?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
