Office lighting in Gloucestershire
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 Gloucestershire, including Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud.
Office lighting work in Gloucestershire
If your Gloucestershire office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Offices in Gloucestershire range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
What's included
- Out-of-hours installation so desks stay usable during the working day
- Daylight dimming along window bays
- Layouts that hit around 500 lux on desks with low glare on screens
- Emergency lighting checked and integrated with the new layout

Office lighting FAQs for Gloucestershire
How are prices set in Gloucestershire?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
Which fire safety law applies in Gloucestershire?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
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.

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.
