Office lighting in Brixton
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Brixton and Greater London. Reception areas in Brixton often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Local office lighting in Brixton
We usually phase office work in Brixton over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Many Brixton office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
We cover the whole of Brixton, including the SW9, SE5 and SE24 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Peckham, Queenstown and Pimlico.

Rules that apply in Brixton
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.

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.
