Office lighting in Blackheath
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Blackheath 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.
Local office lighting in Blackheath
Many Blackheath office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Meeting rooms are where Blackheath 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.
Blackheath sits within Greater London. We work throughout the SE3, SE13 and SE10 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Greenwich, Catford and Brockley.

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.

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you work out of hours in Blackheath?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Blackheath offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
