Office lighting in Bishopstoke
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Bishopstoke and Hampshire. Meeting rooms are where Bishopstoke 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.
Local office lighting in Bishopstoke
For office lighting in Bishopstoke 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.
Reception areas in Bishopstoke often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
We cover the whole of Bishopstoke, including the SO50, SO53 and SO18 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Eastleigh, Hedge End and North Baddesley.

Rules that apply in Bishopstoke
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.
