Office lighting in Bow
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Bow and Greater London. For office lighting in Bow 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 Bow
Reception areas in Bow often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Many Bow office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Our teams travel to Bow from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Stratford, Limehouse and Stepney, so we can often combine survey visits.

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.

Bow FAQs
Do you cover all of Bow?
Yes. We work across Bow and the E3, E15 and E14 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Stratford, Limehouse and Stepney.
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.
Can you work out of hours in Bow?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Bow offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
