Office lighting in Newport
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Newport and Gwent. We usually phase office work in Newport over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Newport
Offices in Newport range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Meeting rooms are where Newport 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.
Newport sits within Gwent. We work throughout the NP20, NP19 and NP10 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Graig, Caerleon and Risca.

Rules that apply in Newport
The Welsh Approved Document L Volume 2 (2022) uses 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt for general lighting, with alternatives such as LENI. A new Welsh edition takes effect from 4 March 2027 with a higher figure of more than 105.

Privately rented commercial property in Wales generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Newport FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Newport?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Who does the work in Newport?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Can you work out of hours in Newport?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Newport 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.
