Office lighting in Acton
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Acton and Greater London. We usually phase office work in Acton over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Acton
If your Acton office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
For office lighting in Acton 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.
We cover the whole of Acton, including the W3, W5 and W4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Ealing Common, Chiswick and West Ealing.

Rules that apply in Acton
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.
Acton FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Acton?
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 Acton?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Acton offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Acton?
Most surveys in Acton 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 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.
